In 2009, a retrospective study was conducted that evaluated techniques and complications related to liposuction. Among its findings, post-surgical fibrosis was present in 2.3% of the patients.
Post-surgical fibrosis is the development of fibrous tissue caused by abnormal/excessive tissue healing. It occurs in the abdomen, inflamed areas, or visible irregularities. It can be caused by poor patient healing, as the patient may not have followed recommendations, including post-surgical massages that help drain fluid properly and prevent such complications. It is also advisable, when undergoing liposuctions, to seek the assistance of a qualified professional, as the use of technology is crucial for optimal results.
