Massages after Mommy makeover? (Photo)

Thanks for your question.  The majority of my patients don't have massage after mommy makeover surgery and they seem to recover quite well.  That stated,  I would recommend talking to your plastic surgeon to see if they think it will help.

In general, I think it's a good idea to perform a lymphatic massage over the tummy area and to wear a support garment from breast to thigh, but every surgeon has his or her own specific post operative care. Therefore, make sure to consult your surgeon as to what is best for you. Congratulations on your new figure -- Dr. Nazarian

Tummy Tuck and Liposculture always require massages, in fact, without massages you have no guarantee of good results. You need this treatment to avoid lumps and hardness on the areas you get worked on, and, also, to drain possible rest of liquid that might be left after your drain is removed. I always recommend my patients to start with the massages on the 5th day post-op, and to take at least 10 sessions of 30 minutes minimum, you can get more sessions if desired, like 15th or 20.  I hope this answer was helpful.
