Bio-Bond Overview
Hello. This is Woori Plastic Surgery :)
Many people considering abdominal liposuction surgery are most concerned about side effects before and after the procedure.
Among them, let’s take a look with Dr. Kwon at Bio-Bond, which is often mentioned as a side effect of abdominal liposuction.
What Is Bio-Bond?
First, Bio-Bond is not a medical term. It refers to the phenomenon in which the surgical area becomes lumpy and firm after a certain period of time following surgery. Even if it looks normal right after surgery, the area starts to harden and become lumpy between 2 and 4 weeks later. Although it varies from person to person, Bio-Bond usually lasts about 1 to 2 months and improves naturally, but in severe cases it can interfere with daily life, so management is needed.
Causes of Bio-Bond
What causes Bio-Bond, a side effect of abdominal liposuction?
Bio-Bond usually results from several causes acting together. After abdominal liposuction, as fat inside the body is removed, a vacant space is created, and blood may collect there. In addition, during liposuction, the surrounding tissues can be damaged by friction from the cannula. Bio-Bond occurs during the process of recovering from that damage.
Cause of the Problem
If Bio-Bond becomes severe, it can interfere with daily life.
In the case of abdominal liposuction side effects, if you feel discomfort when straightening or twisting your waist, it becomes difficult to lift your arms upward. If Bio-Bond occurs severely in the legs, you may feel more discomfort when extending your legs, and in very severe cases, the area can harden and appear uneven and bumpy.
Management of Bio-Bond
Fortunately, most Bio-Bond cases can improve naturally. However, to help speed up recovery, it is recommended to combine the following methods.
High-Frequency Treatment
To manage Bio-Bond after arm liposuction, receiving high-frequency treatment at the clinic can be helpful. High-frequency treatment helps relieve fibrosis and improve blood circulation, which is useful for reducing lumps.
Self-Massage
After showering, it is good to apply lotion and continue with gentle self-care by lightly pressing or stroking with your hands.
Light Stretching
It is helpful to avoid excessive exercise and instead do light stretching to keep the body moving flexibly.
