What type of roller is best for post-lipo massage? (photo)

June 2, 2016
Asked By:Kaprof in Minneapolis, MN

I watched a video on RealSelf showing how to do self-massage with rollers a few weeks post-surgery. Is the idea solely to move the fluid into the lymph system, or the roller also flattening and smoothing the skin? I have a foam roller, but it is ridged, so it would move the lymph well but not smooth out the skin.

Jason Emer, MD says:

I find that full body contouring with the tummy tuck is needed to really reshape the hips/buttock/stomach. I suggest you see an expert in HI DEF body shaping.  Best, Dr. Emer.
