Ultrasound scan imaging of post-liposuction fibrosis

I have specialised in post-liposuction fibrosis for 20+ years; in cellulite and skin laxity for 25+ years; and in skin ultrasonography for fibrosis, cellulite and lipedema and skin laxity for 4 years now. During that time I have performed hundreds of skin and subcutaneous tissue ultrasound scans, so I can help you understand your skin better and offer you the best possible treatment with the aid of specalised imaging.

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

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

  • Brazilian butt lift / BBL

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

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 image 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 changes” after “deep structural changes” 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”.

External appearance of fibrosis combined with cellulite

External appearance of fibrosis combined with cellulite

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.

Images were taken at our clinic in London (LipoTherapeia, 10 Portman Square, London W1).

Images U2 (C89), U2 (C58), U2 (C55)

  • More ultrasound vs external images will be added soon but both the internal (ultrasound scan) appearance and external (photographic) appearance do not change: post-cosmetic surgery fibrosis looks exactly the same both inside and out

  • You also can view ultrasound scan images of cellulite and skin laxity here.

Advanced cellulite and skin tightening treatments in London, by LipoTherapeia

Our cellulite and skin tightening treatments are based on LipoTherapeia® Plus, the strongest SAFE cellulite / skin tightening technology combination available today, skilfully applied without compromises or cut corners, for maximum results, naturally.

LipoTherapeia® Plus comprises 5 exclusive elements:

  • Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency, the most effective SAFE cellulite reduction technology, with the best equipment currently available

  • Deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation, the second most effective SAFE cellulite reduction technology, with the best equipment currently available

  • High-power LED phototherapy, to maximise and enhance the effects of our high-power, deep-acting radiofrequency and ultrasound, with the best equipment currently available

  • Advanced treatment protocols, based on actual Physics and the Anatomy & Physiology of cellulite, in order to make the most of these technologies (this is in contrast to the usual one-day training on some basics of how to use the machine, which is the norm at almost all salons and clinics that offer cellulite treatments - including cosmetic surgery practises)

  • Treatment based on more than two decades of experience, study and research in cellulite and skin tightening, with more than 23,000+ treatments and 4,100+ cases (including 14+ years and 13,000+ high-power, deep-acting radiofrequency and cavitation treatments)

A PAINLESS, realistically priced and effective technology, LipoTherapeia® Plus has a 99.5%+ safety rate at our clinic, as it is based on naturally stimulating collagen production, hypodermal fat release and circulation/lymphatic drainage - not on burning the skin inside, as some procedures mentioned above aim.

In addition to cellulite reduction, the technologies comprising LipoTherapeia® Plus also have a profound effect on skin tightness* as well as a beneficial effect on stretch marks. So you get a combined benefit by the use of these technologies.

(*In fact, deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the gold standard technology for SAFE and effective skin tightening.)

In most cases of cellulite / skin laxity we recommend 6-12 sessions for best results (there are no miracle treatments that reduce cellulite or tighten skin in 1-4 sessions).

The only aesthetic practice in London that specialises 100% in skin tightening & cellulite removal

Most aesthetic clinics offer 20, 30, even 50 different treatments, from laser hair removal to fillers to chemical peels to cellulite, and thereby lose specialisation and expertise.

A jack of all trades therapist or clinic cannot possibly be experts in 20, 30 or 50 different treatments. It is physically impossible to follow the science and all the latest developments in 50, 30 or even 20 fields.

And it is impossible to be an expert in an aesthetic condition, if you never study and practise with focus and depth the science of that aesthetic condition.

So at LipoTherapeia we only focus 100% on cellulite reduction and skin tightening - nothing else.

We do not do botox, fillers, chemical peels, dermablading, microdermabrasion, waxing, nails, fluffy facials, laser hair removal and the like: just cellulite reduction and skin tightening with the best ultrasound, radiofrequency and LED phototherapy technologies in the world (no exaggeration). And we have a deep knowledge of these five subjects - for your benefit.

All with 99.5%+ safety and NO PAIN, NO DOWNTIME, no microneedling, no injections, no fillers, no unsafe “instant miracle treatments”, no numbing creams, no invasiveness, no surgery, no drama.
