Restoring Skin Health
FusionMD in Miami offers advanced treatments for fibrosis correction. Fibrosis is a common concern for many individuals after various surgical procedures, such as liposuction. It can manifest as lumps, hardness, and discomfort in the affected area. At FusionMD, we understand the importance of addressing these issues to ensure optimal results and patient satisfaction. Using advanced VASER ultrasound, we provide targeted therapy that alleviates your symptoms. We can also perform fibrosis correction surgically in tandem with a tummy tuck, providing functional benefits alongside aesthetic enhancements.
Fibrosis Explained
Fibrosis is a frequently encountered secondary effect following various surgical procedures. In some cases, patients may become aware of it several weeks after surgery or experience it more rapidly during the postoperative period. Symptoms often manifest as lumps of scar tissue, which may later progress to hardening and thickening of the affected area, often accompanied by discomfort.

Whether you're dealing with fibrosis after liposuction, tummy tuck, or any other surgical procedure, our expert team is here to provide effective solutions.

About the Condition
The likelihood of developing fibrosis after liposuction can be influenced by various factors, including:
Larger scars can increase the risk of fibrous tissue formation.
Some individuals have a genetic predisposition to developing fibrosis, even with small incisions. They may also be more prone to keloid scars.
Maintaining an active lifestyle is essential to reduce the risk of fibrosis. Prolonged periods of inactivity can elevate the chances of developing fibrous tissue. Inadequate post-operative guidance and care can contribute to developing fibrosis.
Reverse Fibrotic Scarring
Fibrosis correction procedures can help alleviate discomfort and pain associated with scar tissue and lumps in the treated area, enhancing overall well-being. Addressing fibrosis can also lead to a smoother and more aesthetically pleasing appearance, ensuring that the results of your surgical procedure are not compromised. Releasing fibrotic tissues can improve the flexibility and mobility of the affected area, allowing you to move more comfortably and without restrictions.

Advanced Correction Techniques
Our most effective ally for fibrosis correction is treatment with Vaser, a minimally invasive ultrasound-assisted technology. Fibrosis may also be corrected in the course of performing another surgical procedure like a tummy tuck.
Vaser is a minimally invasive form of ultrasound-assisted liposuction that is primarily used for body contouring. It is also an effective treatment for gently and precisely targeting fibrotic tissue. Our surgeons are adept at using Vaser to address fibrosis and help you enjoy better comfort and confidence. Your journey starts with an in-depth consultation to discuss your symptoms and assess your case. You will have the opportunity to discuss the benefits of Vaser therapy for fibrosis and have all of your questions answered. The procedure itself requires only a small incision and comes with quicker healing time than traditional liposuction devices thanks to the ultrasound energy that assists in breaking up the fibrosis with minimal disturbance to surrounding tissues.
Some patients benefit from incorporating fibrosis correction into another surgical procedure. This approach is a good option for patients dealing with fibrosis in the abdominal area who also wish to reduce excess skin and achieve a more taut abdominal contour through tummy tuck surgery. During surgery, the scar tissue is released, and the skin is carefully tightened and smoothed out to deliver a comprehensive transformation that combines symptom relief with aesthetic enhancement.
Your Journey to Smooth Skin
Our head surgeon, Dr. Joshua Scurlock, has been instrumental in researching innovative post-operative care techniques to improve outcomes after treatment. At FusionMD, you will benefit from the most advanced care combined with a patient-centered approach. Our specialists will guide you through every step of your treatment plan, including aftercare steps and lifestyle adjustments that can help maintain the benefits of your treatment and ensure a smoother, more comfortable outcome from a past procedure.

Our tailored treatments can help you achieve smoother, more comfortable skin, reducing the impact of fibrosis-related issues. Say goodbye to discomfort and hello to a better quality of life with our effective solutions.
If you develop fibrosis following your liposuction procedure, you might observe the following symptoms: uneven skin or texture in the affected area, localized discomfort or pain concentrated around the incision site, sensation changes, such as a decrease in light touch sensation or numbness in the affected region; noticeable skin changes, where the skin within the scar tissue can become hardened and thickened, and limited mobility, where you experience a pulling or tugging sensation when attempting to stretch or move the area.
To prevent fibrosis after liposuction, strict adherence to your surgeon's instructions is crucial. Manage swelling effectively to prevent chronic inflammation and fibrotic scarring. Wearing properly fitted compression garments minimizes swelling and fluid accumulation. Research shows that post-lipo lymphatic drainage massages reduce swelling, enhance body contours, and improve lymphatic circulation. This method also aids in reducing bruising and softening scar tissue. Initiating massages early after the procedure is vital, as collagen is still flexible, akin to wet cement. Acting promptly leads to better results, as addressing fibrosis later may yield less favorable outcomes. Prevention is key in fibrosis management.
