One of the key topics discussed at the Miami aesthetic surgery meeting this year was the prolonged fibrosis (contracture) that can occur after liposuction—especially in the abdomen, where tightening and stiffness tend to be the strongest.

Fibrosis is a normal healing response, but without proper management, it can remain for several months or even longer.

Why the Abdomen Develops Strong Fibrosis

The abdominal area:

• has a thicker fat layer
• has relatively low blood flow
• moves frequently with daily activities

These factors make it particularly prone to firmness, uneven texture, and tightness during the healing phase.

This is not a complication—

it is a normal physiological response after liposuction.

Compression Is the Most Important Part of Care

To shorten the fibrosis phase and achieve a smoother contour, compression is essential.

Benefits of Proper Compression

• Reduces swelling and inflammation
• Prevents excessive fibrosis
• Shapes and maintains the waistline
• Decreases discomfort
• Improves blood circulation and healing

But Over-Compression Is Dangerous

Excessive pressure can cause:

• blood-flow impairment
• pigmentation
• nerve irritation

At AVAN TOKYO, we carefully guide patients on the right pressure, duration, and timing to avoid these risks.

Case: 3 Months After Abdominal Liposuction + Fat-Graft Breast Augmentation

The patient still shows some firmness due to ongoing fibrosis, but this is expected.

From here, with:

• proper compression
• radiofrequency care (FORMA)
• gentle mobility and massage

the waistline will continue to refine and soften naturally.

Why AVAN TOKYO Focuses So Heavily on After-Care

Beautiful results are not created in the operating room alone.

Design + Surgical Skill + Proper After-Care

= The Final Aesthetic Outcome

We provide:

• detailed compression guidance
• customized downtime protocols
• RF treatment options

to ensure the most natural and refined contour possible.

Fibrosis Is Not the Enemy — Improper Care Is

With correct management, the abdomen will always soften and smooth out.

Our mission is to guide you through every stage until the final, beautiful silhouette is complete.
