I see a lot of posts talking about lymphatic massage after lipo. I’m 10 days post op, after having the full 5 liters removed from lower/upper abdomen, waist and hips.

I’m still extremely tender and can’t imagine massaging but would be willing to suck it up and do it if helps the ending result. Thanks!
