How will red light therapy affect fat transfer areas? Is this safe?

Question

Ihad a BBL and TT in Ensenada and I have been using the novaalab red light therapy Pad on the treatment areas . Is it safe to use on the areas where fat was reinjected , or Will it scatter the cells rather than anchor them ? Thank you so much

Hello @JessicaJade84, thank you for your question. In order to ensure a successful outcome, it is essential to follow all instructions given by the doctor who performed the surgery, including any post-operative protocols that are recommended. For more information and recommendations is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear JessicaJade84,
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.

Shining a red light on your BBL results will not change your outcome.
I’ve not heard of the device you describe but most likely it does nothing.
Best,
