Dear Aliceloyal,

I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.
It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

Most patients can resume light walking shortly after surgery, but strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and activities that increase chest movement are typically restricted for 4–6 weeks. Protecting the transferred fat during the early healing period is important for optimal graft survival. Follow your surgeon’s specific postoperative instructions, as recommendations may vary based on your procedure and recovery.
