Are massages after lipo necessary?

February 12, 2018
Asked By:denver9 in Columbus, OH

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. My question is: is massage necessary to get the best final result? Or does it affect the result at all? 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!
