Is it important to do Ultrasonic Massage after Tummy Tuck and Lipo?

I recommend massage, not necessarily ultrasound. I don't recommend any massage in the area of tummy tuck because it can lead to seroma formation. The liposuction area should be massaged.Best wishes,Dr. JSB

Some surgeons are enthusiastic about the benefits of ultrasonic treatments and massage after surgery, but the evidence is strictly anecdotal, and most surgeons to not use it as a routine part of their postoperative care.  I would not object to a patient utilizing these treatments, but I would check with your surgeon.

There is no evidence that ultrasound or massage improves results after liposuction. You should discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

I do recommend my patients to do hand massage on areas that were liposuctioned but I do not think it is important to do the ultrasound massage.  Best to ask your PS and follow the advice given as everybody is different.

No, in my opinion it is not important to utilize ultrasonic massage after tummy tuck surgery. If you do choose to do so, make sure you are doing so after communicating your plans with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.
