NB Adhesion Reset
Firm lines from adhesion planned to move more smoothly
A hardened contour after liposuction may not be a simple fat issue. Ultrasound-based assessment, release planning, and contour redesign are considered from the underlying cause.
Is This You?
If these symptoms feel familiar, it may not be a simple fat concern
- The skin feels pulled inward after surgery
- The area feels firm or hardened to the touch
- The skin surface looks uneven
- The adhered area does not soften with exercise
- The contour does not seem to recover over time
Adhesion may not resolve on its own with time. Fibrotic tissue often requires professional evaluation and release planning based on tissue condition.
Why It Happens
When tissues are tethered together, natural recovery can be difficult
During recovery after liposuction, fibrous bands can form between tissue layers and cause them to adhere. Once this fixed structure develops, it may not loosen with time and can become firmer, interrupting the natural flow of the contour.
NB Method
NB Adhesion Reset: 5-Step Approach
01
Ultrasound-Based Assessment
Previous surgical history and palpation findings are reviewed, and ultrasound is used as a supporting assessment of tissue where adhesion or fibrosis is suspected; the findings inform the revision plan.
02
VASER2 Smooth Release
VASER2 Smooth is used to help separate fibrous bands under the skin with a tissue-focused approach, depending on the adhesion pattern.
03
Micro Fat Grafting
When volume deficiency is present, purified autologous fat may be grafted in small amounts to support smoother contour continuity.
04
Contour Redesign
After release, the surrounding tissue flow is reviewed so the line can be redesigned rather than treated as an isolated spot.
05
Recovery Care Protocol
Aftercare such as Versa Clear, U-Cell, Fraxel, RF, and Soft Meso is provided as a standard programme of 12 sessions in total, to support healing and reduce re-adhesion risk.

Lifestyle
When the line begins to flow more smoothly again, small everyday movements can feel lighter.
As recovery progresses in the released area, sensation and contour flow may gradually settle over time.
A line that stopped moving after surgery. A trace that remains in place even as time passes.
Adhesion can interrupt the natural flow of recovery.
When a fixed structure is released, movement can return and the line can begin to connect again.
Recovery means returning toward a more natural flow.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can adhesion loosen naturally over time?
Many adhesions do not fully loosen on their own. If tissue has become fibrotic, professional evaluation and release planning may be needed depending on the tissue condition.
Q. Can older adhesion still be revised?
It may be possible. The current condition and range of adhesion are often more important than how long it has been present. Suitability is judged at consultation by combining previous surgical history, palpation findings and the ultrasound examination.
Q. When is the right time for revision?
In many cases, revision is considered after the tissue has had enough time to stabilize, often at least several months after the first surgery. The timing can vary by healing status and should be decided after consultation.
Q. Can I be treated even if my first surgery was done elsewhere?
Yes, consultation is possible. The revision plan is based on the current tissue condition and contour issue, regardless of where the previous surgery was performed.
Q. Can adhesion come back?
After release, micro fat grafting and recovery care may be considered to support tissue separation and contour stability. However, healing response can vary by area and individual tissue condition.
Q. What kind of anesthesia is used?
Local anesthesia or sedation may be used depending on the area and treatment range. Pre-procedure fasting and tests such as ECG and blood work may be required according to the surgical plan.
NB HANDMADE TECHNIQUE
Adhesion Reset — What the handmade technique controls
In power-assisted liposuction (PAL) a motor manipulates the cannula in action, rather than solely relying on the surgeon's arm; it works on a different principle from ultrasound and radiofrequency devices. Below, what the equipment does is set apart from what the hand does.
Meticulous handwork is used to design and finish natural lines.
NB Handmade
Performed by hand by the head surgeon
The same head surgeon who designs the plan at your first consultation personally guides the cannula in the operating room. Design and surgery by the same person is how NB works.
Maintaining an even fat layer
Rather than relying on suction devices alone, the surgeon adjusts the cannula's direction and pressure by hand. The aim is to keep the remaining fat layer even.
A low-adhesion dissection strategy
The directions and depths where adhesion tends to form are planned in advance. Dissection is carried out in directions and at depths chosen with the possibility of revision in mind.
Careful finishing by area
Borders and line transitions are refined with particular care. The purpose of hand finishing is to connect those transitions naturally.
Power-assisted liposuction (PAL)
A motor assists the cannula's motion
A motor moves the cannula back and forth so the work does not rely solely on the surgeon's arm. It is reported as effective for large-volume removal, fibrous areas and revisions; the reported disadvantages are cannula vibration and noise.
Surface contour irregularity
Minor contour irregularities are reported as a complication of liposuction in general. They are not attributed to any particular device category.
Dissection extent and evenness
The extent of dissection and the evenness of removal affect the result regardless of technique. They depend on the scope, the site and the volume removed.
How the finishing is done
Finishing can be completed with device passes or refined by hand. NB chooses the latter.
NB uses an ultrasound device (VASER2) to prepare the fat layer and a radiofrequency device (BodyTite) to help the skin retract, while the line design and finishing are done by the head surgeon's own hand. Combining equipment with handwork is how NB works.
