Will lymphatic massages at 8 months post op help minimize swelling and tightness from tummy tuck?

Lawencia
Hi, I had a Tummy Tuck w/ No Lipo and Monsplasty procedure done in May 2023. I was told Not to get Lymphatic Massages because it was not necessary. Now I am 8 months post-op and my lower belly is swollen and still pretty tight. Can I get lymphatic massages to make the swelling go down or is this normal?
