Endermologie or Lymphatic drainage massages after a BBL?

User Avatar

Which of the two is most effective to reduce the chances of having dimpled areas on the regions that were liposuctioned? I'm veering towards endermologie because I found a Groupon for 10 sessions but I've read that the endermologie can interfere with the viability of the fat transfer. Maybe I can do lymphatic masssages until it's safe to do endermologie? When would the transferred fat not be compromised by endermologie treatment? Is 3 weeks Post Op a safe assumption?

Lymphatic massage is not critical to the outcome but is commonly recommended. You may have to look around to find a therapist who does this.

Thank you for asking about your post-liposuction massage.A very good question -Although some patients strongly feel a need for massage, others do not.Deep tissue massage tends to be painful - so I suggest patients have lighter massage at first.There are actually no scientific studies showing any...
