Will Deep Tissue Massage Help with Lumpiness After Liposuction?

Thank you for the question.

Unfortunately, I do not think that any type of massage will be helpful at this stage (6 months out)  of your recovery from liposuction surgery.

It may behoove you to be examined by a well experienced board certified plastic surgeon. I am doubtful that his/her advice will include deep tissue massage.

I hope this helps.

Over-resection by liposuction of any area cannot be corrected by any form of massage.  You did not provide any post operative pictures which would have been useful, but the answer to your problem seems pretty clear.  You need to see a Board Certified plastic surgeon experienced in fat grafting to correct over-resected areas.  

 

Sorry to hear about your bad experience.
As a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who does hundreds of Liposuctions each year, lumpiness is always a concern. I employ 3 full time estheticians who do post-op lymphatic drainage massage, and find the results of my procedures has improved dramatically.  Patients see results sooner, and are much happier. This is

something that I did not learn in my training at Columbia, but from visiting surgeons from other countries.
At six months, it is much harder to treat, but I have seen improvement in certain patients. I would tell you to find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area that offers these services to see if it may help. It is much less expensive than more surgery, if you are a good candidate.


Hope this helps.
