Ok. I'm 5 days post op bbl, massage drainage in Atlanta?

Thank you for your question.It sounds like you are developing a seroma.  I would call your surgeon in Miami and ask how to proceed.  In general, I tell my patients to AVOID massages soon after surgery, as I want the tissue to scar down and prevent pockets where fluid can accumulate, and then only do massages starting 2-3 weeks out from surgery once the tissues have started to heal adequately (but every doctor has their own protocol).Best,Dr. Dan KrochmalMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL

I personally do not recommend massage after either liposuction or fat transfer.

I explicitly tell my patients to not massage areas treated with the transfer.

These are typical concerns patient often have after traveling for cosmetic surgery.
