Look inside your skin™ and assess post-liposuction fibrosis, adhesions and scar tissue; and differentiate them from unremoved fat pockets and issues such as cellulite

With our skin ultrasonography service you can assess the presence and severity of fibrosis, scar tissue and adhesions after cosmetic surgery procedures and differentiate between those and unremoved fat, cellulite or other issues. By seeing how your skin looks from the inside you can make informed decisions, in regard to:

  • Liposuction, vaser, smart lipo, bodytite, airsculpt and more

  • Abdominoplasty / tummy tuck, thigh lift, arm lift and more

  • Brazilian butt lift / BBL

  • Cellulite surgery, such as cellulaze, cellutite, cellfina, subcision, aveli and more

  • Non-surgical - but harsh for the skin and underlying tissues - procedures, such as RF microneedling, extreme intensity HIFU, extreme intensity RF, extreme intensity ultrasound etc

  • Hyaluronic acid fillers or poly-L-lactic acid collagen-stimulating injectables, such as Sculptra

  • Previous mechanical previous injuries that may sometimes leave skin with scar tissue, adhesions, deep fibrosis, dents and bumps

Our skin ultrasonography scan and consultation can offer you answers to the following common questions, among many others:

  • Is what I have cellulite, plain fat, skin looseness, lipedema, visceral fat or water retention - and how can it be improved?

  • I had liposuction / vaser / smart lipo / cellulite surgery, can you check if what I have is fibrosis or unremoved fat?

  • My skin is damaged due to RF microneedling / HIFU / extreme intensity RF / extreme intensity ultrasound / poly-L-lactic acid fillers, what can I do?

  • Why is my skin so loose and where to focus to make it tighter?

High-tech equipment and clear, science-based explanations in plain language

At LipoTherapeia we use the latest technology in high-resolution, high-frequency diagnostic ultrasound, specific to skin and subcutaneous adipose tissue. This enables us to clearly visualise skin laxity, cellulite, fat accumulation, lipedema and fibrosis.

Everything will be shown and explained to you clearly in simple terms and you can see and understand how the different structures inside your skin affect your appearance.

If there is scar tissue / fibrosis, those will be clearly seen and we can differentiate between fibrosis, water retention, fat, cellulite and skin laxity, both deep and superficial.

Diagnostic ultrasound images of fibrosis after different cosmetic procedures

Below you can see ultrasound imaging of fibrosis / adhesions / accumulated scar tissue after subcision, smart lipo and cellulaze cosmetic surgeries on a client in her 40s.

Skin ultrasound image of fibrosis after a combination of subcision (“minimally invasive” surgery for cellulite), sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid injections for “skin tightening”), smart lipo (liposuction) and cellulaze (“minimally invasive” surgery for cellulite)

Skin ultrasound image of fibrosis after a combination of subcision (“minimally invasive” surgery for cellulite), sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid injections for “skin tightening”), smart lipo (liposuction) and cellulaze (“minimally invasive” surgery for cellulite)

Skin ultrasound image of fibrosis after a combination of subcision (“minimally invasive” surgery for cellulite), sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid injections for “skin tightening”), smart lipo (liposuction) and cellulaze (“minimally invasive” surgery for cellulite)

In the thigh / butt skin ultrasound images above, fibrosis can clearly be seen (the light grey zone at the top of the image) after a combination of subcision (“minimally invasive” surgery for cellulite), sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid injections for “skin tightening”), smart lipo (liposuction) and cellulaze (“minimally invasive” surgery for cellulite).

On the first image, despite the supposed “firming” effect of these procedures (cellulaze, sculptra and smart lipo), the papillary dermis appears weak (a sign of skin laxity and water retention) while, on the other hand, the thickness of the dermis / fibrosis combo spans an excessive 6mm depth. Normally the depth of the dermis is 2mm on this area.

This is experienced by the patient as hardness and may appear visually as a fibrotic “bump” or fibrotic band, as evidenced in the external image below.

Furthermore, on the left of the first image we can clearly visualise an adhesion which extends to an excessive depth of 12mm and touches on the intermediate fascia. This is experienced by the client as skin stuck to the underlying tissues and may also appear visually as a fibrotic bump or band, as evidenced in the external image below.

The same situation appears in the other two images, with diffuse scar tissue largely replacing the subcutaneous tissue structure, with unfortunately no evidence of external appearance improvement.

Such bumpy / fibrotic appearance actually looks worse than any fat or cellulite that the “radical procedure to create deep structural changes” is supposed to “remove”.

And “deep structural change” after “deep structural change” indeed occur with such “radical procedures”: they are called fibrosis, adhesions and scar tissue.

And as we can see on the images below, the cellulite that was supposed to be removed is still intact - but with new bumps of the fibrotic type being added to the skin by the “radical, deep structural change procedures”.

Below you can see an image of normal skin and hypodermis, for comparison:

Normal, healthy and cellulite-free example, for comparison

As evidenced by the images above, by tactile assessment and by the lived experience of the client, there is no cellulite reduction or skin tightness achieved by ‘radical’ after ‘radical’ procedure - just fibrotic bumps, adhesions and unaffected cellulite.
