In this video, clinician Tim Weyant, MS, PT, explains the difference between edema and fibrosis after cosmetic or plastic surgery. Edema is post-surgical swelling caused by fluid buildup, while fibrosis is the formation of excessive scar tissue that can create lumps and uneven contours. Proper management of both conditions helps reduce swelling, improve healing, prevent complications, enhance comfort, and achieve smoother, more natural-looking results after surgery.
