How Long After a BBL Should You Start Getting Post Op Massages?

Question

How long after getting Bbl do you need to start getting massages for the lipo'ed areas?? I'm scared of pain. Thanks

Thank you for your question, Post operative lymphatic massages are very important for a patients recovery, We advise for you to start your therapy appointments around 3 days after the surgery this will help you feel lees pain during your recovery and have the fluid drained from your body to minimize swelling and unevenness as well to avoid hard lumps due to scar tissue after the surgery.

I am not sure that you absolutely need massages.  This may help with the scar maturation process and some elements of tethering.  You should ask your surgeon about this as everyone will have a different opinion.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Each doctor has their own protocol It is very important that you talk to him and follow his instructions.
I suggest my patients to get at least 10 sessions of lymphatic massages, 24 hours after surgery and to use a full body compression garment, 24/7 for the first 3 months, and after that, for 12 hours a day for 3 more months, to get the best results.
It is important for the compression garment to be very tight, for it to help with the swelling, after surgery.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

In my practice where buttock augmentation is the most popular procedure, we generally, start postop massage and ultrasound sessions to the donor site liposuction areas 1 week after surgery and continue on a weekly basis. We feel that this facilitates healing of the donor sites. Good luck!
