My doctor recommended them and gave me places. How soon can i start them post-op? I'm 9 days out but i havent started them because im scared of the pain... What's the window (in weeks) between which i can MOST benefit from them?

First of all I would do anything that wasn't approved personally by your own surgeon. Having said that, lymphatic massage for hastening convalescence is basically nonsense. Massage it's to vigorous can actually create tissue damage and should be avoided.
Hi.. thank you for the question... This will depend on your evolution, and how the swollen goes, in my practice i indicate my patients from 5 to 10 depending how they are going.
