Arthur Dean Jabs, MD, PhD, FACS · Answer

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.

Brian Arslanian, MD · Answer

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.  I would discuss this with your surgeon before doing anything like that.  Good Luck"The above answer has been given without seeing this

In my opinion about the worst thing you can do after fat transfer is to massage the area.Please check with your plastic surgeon to see what he or she recommends.One of the basic principles of tissue transfer is the need to immobilize the transfer tissue until a new blood supply has been created.This process takes two weeks.If the grafted  tissue is not revascularized within 10 days it will not survive.The small blood vessel's that revascularized the grafted fat are very susceptible to damage during the first two weeks.This is why most plastic surgeons instructor patients to not even sit on the area let alone massage it or put any type of pressure on it.
