Cupping/vacuum therapy after 5wks after BBL, is it okay?

Question

I had liposuction with fat transfer to my hips and my bum 5weeks ago. I have some areas of flatness so my doctor reccomend cupping/vaccum therapy to those areas. However my post- op therapists advised against it. What should I do? I trust my doctor but I'm worried now.

Dear cherrypie79,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

Hi darling, thank you for your question.I recommend consulting your doctor about what your therapists says, however it is better if you listen to what your post-op therapists says because that team usually knows how to manage well the post operative care. The less issues, the better so waiting won't cause any problem.Good luck!Dr. Jimenez ToribioPlastic and Reconstructive Surgeon.
