thank you for your question. I always recommend to my patients daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy 5 times at week for the next two months.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
I believe post lipo/bbl massage to be very important to drain out any excess fluid. I have my patients start the next day and then once a day for about 6 sessions. This is typically sufficient.
I do feel that massages help after the procedure I usually encourage my patients to start after two weeks and I offer one free massage a week for 3 weeks . Now everyone swells differently, if you're very swollen you may need more . In general all swelling goes away, with or without massages. Messages can help make the process quicker .
Dear Girtl24242,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this topic with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery
Greetings. I usually recommend massage treatments only on the areas of liposuction and not at the area of fat transfer. The massages can start within 2 days after the procedure and can continue for 2-3 weeks. Every surgeon has a different recommendation or opinion on massage treatments so make sure to discuss this with your surgeon. Good luck!
This is different for every patient. I recommend for my patients to get 1-2 professional lymphatic massages starting the 2nd week after surgery. After that I assess the patient to decide if they need more lymphatic massages or need to transition to endermologie or deep tissue massages.
Hello dear!!Thanks for the question. Usually 10 massages are the amount recommended, one at day. If you can and want you could have more massages.Hope this could help, good luck :)
Personally I don't believe massage has any impact on the final results after liposuction.My practice is devoted exclusively to liposuction and fat transfer procedures only.For my patients I instruct him to absolutely not massage areas or fat has been grafted.I believe massaging the area's or fat has been grafted will inhibit the ingrowth of blood vessels to the grafted fat.Each doctor has their own protocol and you should ask your doctor what he or she recommends.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.
You have great shape already and not a ton of fat to work with! I think take what fat you can in the areas you want to thin and add to your top 1 or 2 areas of concern. Be realistic as you really don't have a lot to work with. Best Wishes!!
Thank you for your question. You are absolutely right that there is no scientific evidence that sitting affects BBL results. However, it's just a common sense recommendation to avoid trauma to the grafted fat cells. That said, I also recommend 6 weeks of minimal sitting for my patients. Please c...
Unfortunately, at 8 days out from surgery, your fat has not stabilized. You will continue to lose fat cells and swelling over the next few weeks. The earliest time period I'd feel comfortable having you critically analyze the results is approximately 6 weeks postoperatively.Hope this helps - Sam...
Ultimately this decision needs to be between you and your plastic surgeon. If you were my patient I would have you wait 6- 8 weeks. Certain hormonal changes in pregnancy can make complications more likely.Best of luck! Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA
Thanks so much for reaching out. It is definitely way too early in the postoperative time to judge any of your results. There is lots of swelling that cannot be evaluated properly. Things typically look pretty weird for the first few weeks. Make sure you were following your surgeons post...
Thanks so much for reaching out. I think that what you have brought up is a very good topic. I think it is important to identify your goals and what is needed to achieve them safely. I know a lot of people travel to South America and other countries to have cheap plastic surgery. I do not t...
