No need to massage buttocks after brazilian buttock lift

There may be some benefit to massage the areas of liposuction (abdomen/flanks), but no need to massage the buttocks where the transferred fat cells are. The massage in this area could harm the delicate fat cells and decrease their survival. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon prior to surgery. Best wishes, Dr.Bruno

Massaging the Right Areas After Your Brazilian Butt Lift

After undergoing the Brazilian Butt Lift surgery, I recommend for my patients to massage the areas liposuctioned but to NOT massage the buttock. In fact the buttock should be left as is, especially in the first 4 weeks post-operatively as it is sensitive and has already been contoured a certain way by your surgeon. Massaging liposuctioned areas is very beneficial as it aids in softening hard areas and improving the texture of the skin. I have my patients see an endermologist for a few... more

Brazilian butt lift massage

The Brazilian butt lift liposuction is done in different areas of the body including the upper and lower back, the abdomen, flanks, axilla, thighs, etc. It is well accepted that any area that underwent liposuction should be massaged to soften the area and avoid lumps. In addition, there are multiple areas that are hard and massage will improve the texture, form, and feel of such areas.

Lymphatic Massages after Brazilian Butt Lift

This is a great question many of my patients ask me. I highly recommend post operative massages to all of my patients. The massages help remove any possible imperfections in the skin due to the liposuction. As othe rsurgeons have mentioned, massages are not to be done in teh fat injection area, as this is a delicate area of newly transferred fat cells. The massages also assist in the draining of any fluid building caused by the surgery. Best of luck.

Massage after brazilian butt lift

Thanks for your question! In our San Francisco area practice we perform this operation frequently. Massage of the areas that have been liposuctioned can be helpful 2 to 3 times a day for the first week but after that the compression garment is likely doing you more good than any massage. The buttocks should not be massaged. The transplanted fat cells need to establish a blood supply and vigorous massage can decrease fat survivability. I hope this helps. more

The Brazilian butt lift is a liposuction fat injection. You taking fat from the places you don't want it in the abdomen, flanks and back and injecting it into the buttocks or you do want. Massage is really important for the liposuction not the fat injection. I recommend to my patients to have massage in the areas of liposuction as soon as possible. I do what I did not want to massage the buttocks because it may damage the fat cells and decreased survival of the injected fat... more
