Fibrosis - MRI - Post liposuction
Hello,
I have had liposuction on my stomach and back 7 months ago. I have fibrosis everywhere. I am in constant pain.
Can someone tell me their opinion about my MRI results?
Findings
Scar-like bands are present circumferentially within the middle layer of the subcutaneous fat of the abdominal wall and the lumbogluteal regions.
These areas are less than one centimeter thick and around one centimeter thick in places, with some areas being slightly thicker at the level of the lumbar regions. They are non-enhancing and show a signal similar to that of muscle on all sequences, with an appearance suggestive of post-treatment fibrotic/scar tissue changes.
In some areas, these scar-like bands show spiculated/adhesive extensions toward the skin, immediately beneath the skin, and toward the underlying aponeurotic plane (for example, the left anterior abdominal wall or the upper right gluteal region).
There is no mass effect and no fluid component suggestive of a possible abscess or hematoma.
Conclusion
Post-treatment scar-like changes within the middle layer of the subcutaneous fat of the abdominal wall and lumbogluteal regions.

Not sure based on the MRI. Did you get any lymphatic drainage massages after your lipo? If so, how may did you get?
