Dear bmora704,
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.

Thanks for your question. After having Brazilian butt Lift surgery, you should have massages as soon as possible. It becomes a question of pain threshold, but its very important that they be done as soon as possible. The massages help in draining excess liquid as well as avoiding post-liposuction imperfections. You should do about 2 to 3 massages per week for about 5 weeks. Hope this helps. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take Care, Dr. Moises Salama, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Dear bmora704,

Congratulations on your decision to undergo the BBL with Lipo 360! Adequate post-operative care is pivotal for optimal results, and massages play an instrumental role in the healing process.

After a lipo 360/BBL surgery, post-op massages are crucial to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and help disperse any fluid build-up. They can also aid in contouring and ensuring the smoothness of the skin.

For optimal results, I recommend at least two massages per week for four weeks, ideally starting early on days 1-3 post-surgery. This amounts to a minimum of 8 massages within the first month. It's essential to begin the massages early to prevent fluid accumulation and to promote faster healing. However, always consult with your surgeon about the best approach tailored to your specific needs.

Remember, post-op massages can be a bit uncomfortable initially, but they are incredibly beneficial for your recovery. Pair this with wearing your compression garment, staying hydrated, and following your surgeon's advice, and you'll be on the path to achieving the best results!

Lymphatic massage is a very helpful adjunct procedure with BBL/liposuction.  The number of session depends on the extent of the procedure and desired outcome.  Lymphatic massage helps with pain and swelling after the procedure.

Hi, thanks for sharing your concerns with us. After a liposuction the recommendation is to wear your post op faja for at least 3 months and I usually recommend at least 1-15 post op massages, and you can get extra in case you feel the need. If you are traveling outside your country for surgery, the best is to wait at least 13 days after surgery to fly back home
