Most massage therapist learn the ropes of different procedures fairly quickly with their background training. As long as no excessive pressure is being applied to your butt and you're getting maximum draining, i wouldn't worry. Generally speaking, there are some surgeons who believe that their patients' outcomes are improved by having deep tissue massages in the areas that were suctioned.Speak with your surgeon for the best advise!

We have a strict policy of buttocks immobilization minimizing pressure and movements for the first three weeks after fat transfer to maximize the chances of that survival.
This is especially critical between the second and the 10th date.
In my personal opinion deep tissue massage is the worst thing you could possibly do you grafted  tissue.
Especially that one week after the procedure.
Ask your surgeon when he or she recommends.
We ask or patients to minimize movement and avoid any pressure other than going to the bathroom for the first three weeks.
