Is a infrared sauna for lymphatic drainage okay to do after abdomen lipo?

Dwright1960.  I recommend that you stay away from any type of sauna or hot tub or Jacuzzi for at least two weeks after your surgery over concerns regarding infection. I have never been a fan of lymphatic massage after liposuction because there is no bonafide scientific research that provides proof that it works.  It also hurts a lot right after surgery, and unnecessary pain is not my idea of a good time! Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for further details. Good luck.

Thanks for the question, after two weeks I allow my patients to use saunas, before that you may expose yourself to an increased risk of infection. There is some new data that suggests that infrared when combined with lymphatic drainage can enhance the healing process and thus I think its a great idea when used safely
