I like to wait 3-4 weeks for a deeper massage to allow the fat to establish a blood supply and thus receive the oxygen needed to live. A light, superficial lymphatic massage helps and does not jeopardize the blood supplyContact you surgeon and get their OK before proceedingHope this helpsDr. J
Some doctors like patients to have massage after these types of surgery to help with swelling. I personally do not commonly recommend this to my patients.
Thanks for the question. This really varies based on surgeon preference. Some surgeons would not want your butt touched for a month, some might start recommending lymphatic massage or something like that within the first week.

Typically a month is needed to heal before going back to "work". If you are just talking about dancing and don't have to put weight on the area treated, you should be fine. The holes used to transfer the fat should be small but the redness from the hole may take months to fade. The problem is to...
Thank you for your question.Best to be at a BMI less than 30 or within 10 pounds of your goal weight and stable at that weight for 6 months prior to surgery for optimal results. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon...
The most common procedure that is performed with the brazilian butt lift is the tummy tuck but determining whether you're a candidate for that combination or whether liposuction alone, as part of the brazilian butt lift, would be your best option is impossible to guess without a consult...
