I just had lipo to the flanks, inner thighs and lower tummy and was wondering if lymphatic drainage massage would be necessary or helpful for optimal results? Should the drainage be manual massage or can it also be using machines like the ones used for cellulite treatment? How soon after the surgery can i start? Thank you.

From board-certified doctors and trusted medical professionals
If you have easy access to lymphatic massage you could consider having a treatment preop. Postop I usually recommend 4-6 treatments but it all depends if you see a benefit and there is no hard and fast rule.
There is nothing specific you need to do for aftercare to improve your results. Maintaining a health lifestyle and keeping your weight stable/decreased is the most important part of maintaining good results.
I appreciate your question.
I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients. Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing ...
