Thank you very much for inquire. I recommend you perform daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the abdomen at least three times at week after 3 days after surgery.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thank you for your question. Every surgeon will have his/her own preferences as to recovery for specific procedures.  It's best to follow your surgeons specific advice post-operatively. After surgical procedures scarring occurs due to collagen build-up and skin remodeling. We recommend massage to our patients in the acute healing face, usually weeks 1-2 post-operatively and as needed thereafter for any trouble spots. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  A key quality indicator is Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
I suggest my patients to try the lymphatic massages, in must cases, two or three days after surgery, to get the best results.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Most patients are sore the first few days or even up to a week after surgery so they are unable to start massaging right away. I would recommend to start massages as soon as patients are able to tolerate it after surgery.
