Asked By:maldome in Long Island, NY

I just had a myrick about 5 weeks ago, as far as I know little to know Lipo was done because my doctor said it wasn't needed. At my follow up we priced a Lottie scar tissue forming by the scar and she said I could massage it. So ow I've been looking into it and see there is lymphatic drainage massage and sullying post surgery massage. What is the difference? do I need either?
