How many massages are recommended after a BBL?

In my practice, we do not use massages.  However, we do use ultrasound (the kind physical therapists use for sore muscles), usually between 8-10 sessions lasting 5 minutes per side.  Also, to increase the chance of blood supply to the transplanted fat cells, we employ the use of DMSO which opens choke vessels.  These two modalities have significantly improved the percentage take in my BBLs.

Every surgeon is different with there postoperative BBL instructions.  I myself do not recommend massages.  I don't think they will harm, but I also do not feel that they affect the ultimate outcome.  Other surgeons may feel differently.Best of luck!

ZERO.......!    No massages required for excellent results!    If liposuction is done well, you shouldn't need massages post op.  Definitely would not recommend massage of your buttocks after BBL,  That's the last thing you want to do!  You want to immobilize your fat cells!  The more you move them, the more you will lose!  As far as liposuction, I only recommend massaging something if it is not perfect!   And, fortunately, this is rare!  If it is done well, massage isn't necessary!   Not surprisingly, most of the docs that I know who recommend massage after surgery, also employee a massage therapist!  Hmmmmmm........!?

Each surgeon is a bit different. I do not specifically recommend massages on a regular basis but some surgeons do.  Best to ask yours.
