Inclusion Criteria	Exclusion Criteria
* Subjects greater than 18 years of age. * Subjects who have undergone plastic surgery procedures and present in the post-operative period with soft tissue firmness suggestive of subcutaneous/parenchymal fibrosis.	* Subjects with cardiac pacemakers * Other medical or psychiatric condition that may increase the risk associated with study participation, may complicate subject compliance, or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the Investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study. * Proximity of fibrotic tissue directly adjacent to bone * Face/neck areas are excluded * Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, would not be compliant with the schedule of study visits
