Fibrosis After Cosmetic Surgery - Treatment Policy

At Medical Massage Professionals, LLC, we strive to provide clear and timely communication while ensuring efficiency in managing patient inquiries. To maintain an organized and professional experience, we have the following communication guidelines:

• Primary Communication Channels: We use SMS exclusively for clients within the U.S. and WhatsApp as the default communication method for international patients. Other channels (e.g., social media messaging) are not monitored for appointment scheduling or service inquiries.

• Response Time: We respond to messages during office hours as promptly as possible. Standard response time is typically within a few hours, but it may vary due to workload, time zone differences, or operational priorities.

• Respecting Response Time: Clients are expected to wait for a response via the designated channels before attempting to contact us through other means. Repeated inquiries across multiple platforms can delay responses and disrupt workflow.

• Office Hours: Responses will only be provided during official working hours. If a message is sent outside of these hours, it will be addressed on the next business day.

By contacting us, you agree to abide by these communication protocols, ensuring a smooth and respectful interaction for all parties.

Fibrosis treatment is a specialized therapy designed to improve scar tissue mobility, reduce post-surgical imperfections, and enhance overall recovery. Due to the complexity of fibrosis and individual healing responses, results vary based on factors such as:

• The severity and duration of fibrosis

• Individual healing capacity

• Consistency in treatment sessions

• Proper post-treatment care

Our expertise lies in assessing your condition and developing a customized approach to optimize your results.

Before beginning any fibrosis treatment, all patients must undergo an evaluation. This is a crucial step to determine:

• Whether you are a suitable candidate for treatment

• The estimated number of sessions required

• The recommended frequency and post-care guidelines

• Quote a treatment plan

Remote & In-Person Evaluations

• Remote Evaluations: Conducted via a secure video call. Patients will complete an intake form beforehand and may be asked to submit photos of the affected areas.

• In-Person Evaluations: Available at our clinic for those seeking a direct assessment.

All evaluations require a signed Consultation & Authorization Form before the appointment.

Fibrosis correction requires consistency for optimal results. Treatment packages are valid for three months from the date of purchase. If a patient fails to maintain consistency, it is assumed they have abandoned treatment. Sessions cannot be resumed after extended breaks, as the progression of fibrosis may render previous work ineffective.

Treatment re-instatement will be exceptionally considered on an individual basis. Reassessment and reinstatement fees are applicable.

The estimated number of sessions provided during the evaluation is based on your condition at the time of assessment. However, several factors may alter this estimate:

• Additional Treatments: If you undergo other treatments alongside fibrosis correction, some therapies may leave residual effects that could worsen your condition, requiring adjustments to the initial plan.

• Undisclosed Treatment History: If previous treatments were not fully disclosed or their impact was misrepresented, they may interfere with progress, potentially increasing the number of sessions required.

• Remote vs. In-Person Assessment: A remote evaluation relies on visual observation and patient-reported details. In-person evaluations allow for direct palpation (touch assessment), which may reveal aspects not evident in photos or descriptions. As a result, the treatment estimate given remotely may change upon an in-person assessment.

For the best possible outcome, transparency about past and ongoing treatments is essential.

While our treatments are highly effective, we believe in full transparency:

• Results vary from patient to patient.

• Severe fibrosis may require multiple sessions or may not be fully reversible.

• Patience and adherence to the treatment plan are essential for the best possible outcome.

We prioritize honesty and will only recommend treatment if we believe we can provide noticeable improvement.

Patients must provide the following before any treatment begins:

• A completed intake form with medical history and surgical details

• A valid government-issued ID for identity verification

• A signed Confidentiality Agreement (if applicable) to protect our proprietary techniques

Medical Massage Professionals, LLC follows strict confidentiality protocols. Any photos taken for progress tracking will be used solely for medical documentation unless explicit permission is granted for educational or marketing purposes.
