Woke up with Fibrosis
Believe it or not you do not wake up with fibrosis. Your stomach, arms, legs, chin etc. is trying to recover after a traumatic as soon as the surgery stops. Producing collagen Reabsorbing fluid Laying down scar tissue And when paired with a garment that is ill fitting and swelling that is reducing... you get hard. Fibrotic tissue begins forming but it takes about 21 days for true fibrosis to form (if we consider the stages of healing). This means that the first month of recovery is crucial for massages and the best time to pay attention to your body. If you can catch the hardness early you can soften with ease. Recovery would include using a fibrosis foam. Properly applying heat (Think warm showers if you're not cleared for heating pads). And direct contact through massage. Did your surgeon say anything about fibrosis / hardness?

Seromas
Compression or aspiration. One or both need to be a solution. With compression we're talking stuffing foams, wash clothes, tightening your garment and even the usage of tape over the area to force the body to (slowly) reabsorb the fluid. This might take days it might weeks. But you should notice it getting smaller. If there is no change or it gets bigger then this method is not working. Aspiration works by taking a syringe and draining the area. This is done by a nurse or medical professional (who legally can do this). AKA not by me, your licensed massage therapist. With liposuction, you MIGHT end up having more than one. They aren't always visible. You sometimes have to touch to find them. You can see how to do this in the classroom.

1 year post op and I have fibrosis
Not an uncommon story. Depending on the severity you can still see change at home. Light to moderate fibrosis means you can use the cups, fibrosis foams, and if you've invested in a radio frequency machine (think body sculpting) all from the comfort of your bathroom. The main difference between yourself and someone who is 1 MONTH post op is the duration and frequency. You will need to go longer and for more days to see significant change. Most of the videos under CLASSROOM mention doing your routine for 10-15 minutes. When treating OLDER fibrosis you're looking at at least 30 minutes. There also is a difference in true scar tissue and true fibrosis. We can not break down scar tissue easily after months of it hardening. It requires a different approach and sometimes professional help.

Tummy Tuck Lymphatic Massage
New video uploaded under Classroom > Massages Routine You can also do this variation of massage if you did liposuction (no tummy tuck) while you are hunched over during the first few days. Even if you are getting professional massages you want to still know how to take care of yourself at home.
