After liposuction, one important postoperative reaction to be aware of is fibrosis (postoperative firmness).

Fibrosis occurs when inflammation in the treated fat layer leads to scar-like tissue formation, causing hardness in the area.

This reaction can occur in all liposuction sites and typically improves over 3–6 months.

However, the abdomen is particularly prone to stronger fibrosis, and without proper care, firmness may persist beyond six months.

Key strategies to reduce fibrosis

• Anti-inflammatory diet (Japanese-style meals, fish, vegetables)
• No smoking, as nicotine worsens fibrosis
• Gentle exercise, stretching, and massage
• Proper compression garments (not overly tight)
• Radiofrequency treatments such as Indiba or InMode FORMA

InMode FORMA

InMode FORMA delivers controlled radiofrequency heat,

helping improve circulation and soften fibrotic tissue.

Even a single session can significantly relieve postoperative firmness.
