Is It Necessary to Get Lymphatic Massages After Liposuction?

S
sandr4mMay 8, 2013

It's being 2 wks since I had lipo to my upper/lower abdomen and flanks,so far i love how my body looks.However,I noticed this bumps on my abdomen. My PS told me to just massage it and that they will go away. I have been massaging it everyday for about 15 minutes but i am not sure if that is enough. I see that lymphatic massages and endermologie treatments can help.Did anyone here received any of these 2 treatment?if you did, did it help?if you didn't,did massaging yourself give you good results?
