Dear Fabulous366851,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

Generic Answer without knowing your condition would be about one week after surgery. Please Ask your current or past surgeon and they will answer without any issues to you.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

This question is best answered by your surgeon as post operative protocols vary.  Your surgeon is most familiar with the details of your surgery as well as how you've been progressing through recovery.

You need to ask the person who told you.

Each surgeon will have their own postoperative protocol and instructions so please contact your provider and ask them.

Best,
