Adhesions

abnormal connections or bands of scar tissue that form between internal structures as a result of trauma, surgery, or inflammation. These fibrous bands can develop following surgical aesthetic procedures, including liposuction, breast augmentation, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), or other invasive interventions.

Adhesions within the context of aesthetic procedures might impede the normal movement of tissues or organs, leading to discomfort, restricted mobility, or cosmetic irregularities. They can occur when healing tissues adhere to nearby surfaces, causing them to stick together and potentially impacting the aesthetic outcome of the procedure.
