My armpits are lumpy after Smart Lipo & Bodytite on my arms, will massaging help? (Photos)

Question

I had smart lipo with bodytite in my arms. I feel great. It has been 16 days and I can already see that my arms are smaller but I just noticed that in my armpit area, they are very lumpy and the skin is horrible just like in the pic. Does stretching and massages helps this?

Calvin Jung, MD · Answer

I would highly recommend lymphatic massages post procedure.  Most patients will have a degree of swelling post procedure.  The lymphatic massages will also help to prevent fibrosis and contour irregularities.  These massages are not like regular relaxation massages. Find a masseuse who specializes in lymphatic massages and get some treatments!

Hi and welcome to our forum!
You appear to be exhibiting a degree of swelling and tissue adherence following your liposuction procedure. This usually responds quite well to ancillary treatments such as massage and application of radiofrequency energy, but I recommend you follow your surgeon's instructions regarding the timing of these treatments, if they are indeed indicated.
Continue followup care with your plastic surgeon and express your concerns.
Best wishes...
