How soon after liposuction can you get a massage?

Lymphatic massage to reduce swelling can be done as early as 5 days after liposuction.   For a more deep tissue or traditional massage, the skin is usually tender and will be a limiting factor to the massage and may cause swelling if it is too aggressive. 

Tumescent liposuction under local is safe with great results.Recovery time is shorter and most can get back to work or school within a few days.   Patient most generally can begin to exercise and Lymphatic massaging the areas after a couple weeks.  

Tumescent liposuction under local is safer and you not only get better results , you also recover faster and back to work or school in only 2 days. I start my patients exercising and massaging the areas after 1 week. 

Dear Allyrou,
We start a HIVAMAT massage treatment the week after the procedure.  It's likely it will be too uncomfortable for a traditional massage for 2-4 weeks.  A gentle lymphatic massage could be done at 1-2 weeks.  Hope this helps and good luck!  

I would think about 4 to 6 weeks post lipo and then see how confort dictates but at 6 weeks you should be fine

hi,
I usually recommend deep tissue/lymphatic massage 2 weeks post op as long as you can tolerate it.  if you can not then you need to go week by week til you don't feel pain.  I also recommend post lipo garments as well.  hope this helps you.
