At this stage, collagen fibers gather around the fat tissue and form micronodules. Micronodules are noticeable from the outside as small bumps. At this stage, more than one method and longer time are required for treatment. In the final stage, the fat, water and salt molecules accumulated in the tissues become unusable by the organism and macronodules form. Macronodules appear externally as large bulges.
