Do you provide post-liposuction fibrosis treatment?
Yes. This service is specifically designed for surgery-related firmness, lumps, tethering, and uneven tissue after liposuction or another procedure.
Is this scar-tissue massage after surgery?
Scar mobilization may be included when a surgical scar or nearby tissue feels tight, stuck, sensitive, or restricted. The approach is adjusted to the scar’s age and current healing stage.
Are scar tissue and fibrosis the same thing?
They are related, but not the same concern. Scar tissue is the healed repair tissue left by an incision or injury. Fibrosis is a denser healing response that can develop during surgical recovery and may feel firm, lumpy, ropey, hardened, tethered, or uneven. Some clients have one; many have elements of both.
Do you offer fibrosis massage after liposuction or body contouring?
Yes. This is a core reason clients book this service after liposuction, Lipo 360, a BBL, tummy tuck, or another body-contouring procedure. The appointment focuses on the firm, lumpy, ropey, tethered, or uneven tissue that can develop as the treated area heals, using lymphatic and targeted tissue-mobilization techniques to help it soften and move more freely.
What types of scars can this service address?
This service can be a fit for a healed scar from a C-section, plastic or reconstructive surgery, orthopedic surgery, a fall, a car accident, or another injury when it feels tight, numb, sensitive, pulling, stuck, or less mobile than the tissue around it.
Do you work with C-section scars?
Yes. A C-section scar is one example of the scar-focused care offered here. When the scar or surrounding abdominal tissue feels tight, tethered, tender, sensitive, numb, stuck, or restricted, the appointment is adapted to its age, mobility, texture, and sensitivity.
How is this different from post-surgical lymphatic drainage?
Choose Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage when you are in active recovery and swelling, tenderness, or procedure-specific fluid movement is the main concern. Choose Scar and Fibrosis Care when the main concern has become a restricted scar, firmness, lumps, tethering, ropey texture, or uneven tissue.
Can a scar affect more than the visible scar itself?
Yes. A scar can affect comfort and movement in the nearby tissue layers. A systematic review of surgical and post-traumatic scars describes adhesive scars involving fascial layers and their association with pain and limited movement.
What role do myofascial techniques play in this service?
Myofascial techniques are part of the scar-treatment toolkit, not the service's main identity. They may be used gently to support scar mobility and the movement of nearby tissue while the scar and its immediate area remain the focus.
Is this the same as Decongestive Myofascial Therapy?
No. Decongestive Myofascial Therapy is the practice's lipedema-support and fascia-focused tissue service. Scar and Fibrosis Care is organized around a healed scar, surgery-related fibrosis, or another specific injury-related restriction.
When should I choose a different service?
Choose Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage when you are in active recovery and swelling, tenderness, or procedure-specific fluid movement is the main concern. For recently injured or surgically healing tissue, please follow your medical team's clearance and recovery guidance before booking hands-on scar work.
Can I start with one session?
Yes. A single 60-minute Scar and Fibrosis Care appointment is available when you want to begin with one appointment before choosing a treatment series.
What should I wear or bring?
Wear loose, clean, comfortable clothing that is easy to change in and out of and allows access to the areas being treated. A bra or bralette with underwear can be a practical choice when you want comfortable coverage while allowing access to planned treatment areas. Clean skin, no makeup on the areas being treated, and limited lotion or body oil are preferred. During full-body red light, the panel reaches the skin that is uncovered, so this can also allow more of the body to receive the light. Post-op clients should arrive in the clothing and compression setup recommended by their surgeon. Professional draping and privacy are maintained throughout the session. Bring any relevant medical information, current compression items, or instructions from your medical team. Review the first-visit guide for practical arrival and appointment details.
