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
