Answer: Massage Gentle massage on your scar can be done now, but please ask your surgeon when you can start cupping. Cupping does involve suction, and your surgeon may still want to avoid that now.

Answer: Cupping after Tummy Tuck It is too early in my opinion to start massaging or cupping the central part of the tummy only 3 weeks post-op from a tummy tuck. It is usually quite safe to massage the sides if liposuction was done there, but centrally, there is usually quite of bit of swelling and I would worry about that getting worse if manipulation to that area is started too soon. Cupping is fairly aggressive and I have seen it help for scar tissue or adhesions that can occur after liposuction. I am not familiar with its use for hypertrophic scars so I would go by your doctor's recommendations. Embrace scar therapy helps really well for tummy tuck scars and that can be started as soon as 2 weeks after the surgery.

Answer: Cupping scar after tummy tuck I would be very cautious about this and definitely discuss it with your surgeon. Scars go through phases of healing and you don't want to do damage to the healing scar. Continue massaging as it will help the scar stay flatter.
