Thank you for your question.I would recommend discussing this with your plastic surgeon because they know your medical history, anatomy and post operative progress best. Within the first 6 months, about 30% of the fat cells will not survive and will be reabsorbed and passed through your body. Whatever fat is remaining after 6 months is what will remain as long as your weight remains stable so I believe you would be fine to proceed with the deep tissue massage but best to get the clearance from your personal plastic surgeon. Best of luck.Sincerely, James Fernau, MD, FACSBoard Certified ENTBoard Certified Plastic SurgeryMember of ASPS, ASAPS, ISAPS, The Rhinoplasty Society, AAFPRS, OTO/HNS, ASLMS, International Federation for Adipose Therapeutics & Science
