Hi.. thank you for the question... This will depend on your evolution, and how the swollen goes, in my practice i indicate my patients from 5 to 10 depending how they are going.
Hi. Post-op lymphatic massages are very helpful with the swelling and actually make the post-op days go much smother. For most surgeries including BBL, ten Post-op massages is usually enough. One every day starting on the 3rd post-op day. After that The patient can choose to have more massages if she wishes to do so.Best wishes,Dr. Miguel Mota.
Hello. Thank you for your question. We generally ask for 10 ultrasound massages combined with lymphatic drainage massages too, every two days until completing 10. My Best wishes .
Massage is helpful after liposuction, but not after a tummy tuck. After a tummy tuck I want the abdominal skin to stick down and heal. Massaging the abdomen will only prevent adhesion and promote a seroma formation. I never have my patients massage their abdomen after a tummy tuck.
Hello,I'm sorry to hear about your pain/swelling issues but these are not likely related to a Tummy Tuck. I recommend that you see your family Doctor to investigate other possible causes.All the best
I do not have my patients do lymphatic massage at all. All scars get harder and more purple for 4 months as the collagen is really revved up. After 4 months, the soften and lighten in color. This is the natural evolution of a scar.
Thanks for your question. Drains are normally removed about 7 days post-op during a follow-up meeting. When the drain is removed, you may start massaging to lessen any discomfort or swelling you are experiencing. Hope this helps,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
