Do you have a recommendation on where to get lymphatic massages after your TT in Atlanta? And when you can you start it? (photo)

I am about to have my TT on Tuesday the 10th of November in Atlanta (see before pic!). I am trying to figure out a plan on recovery and understand a massage can help with swelling? When is it best to start a massage regime and who to trust? It seems like your body would be very sore. I remember after my c-sections, I didn't want to touch that scar for months! What would you recommend to your patients?

Hello,I'm sorry to hear about your pain/swelling issues but these are not likely related to a Tummy Tuck. I recommend that you see your family Doctor to investigate other possible causes.All the best

I do not have my patients do lymphatic massage at all.  All scars get harder and more purple for 4 months as the collagen is really revved up.  After 4 months, the soften and lighten in color.  This is the natural evolution of a scar.

Thanks for your question. Drains are normally removed about 7 days post-op during a follow-up meeting. When the drain is removed, you may start massaging to lessen any discomfort or swelling you are experiencing. Hope this helps,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
