Tips for the best outcome after lipo? Abdomen, Flanks, and Back!

This is something your physician should be advocating, and all my patients get massage and radiofrequency (velashape) treatments post liposuction.  It not only speeds up the healing process by decreasing swelling, it also prevents any irregularities and helps tighten skin.  You should ensure you are seeing an expert with regards to the treatment you are getting.  Follow the post operative instructions closely.  All my patients wear 24/7 compression for 7-10 days then overnight for another 7-10 days.  Resuming exercise and excellent diet are essential after liposuction to get the ultimate outcomes as well.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I always recommend lymphatic massage, especially for liposuction patients. I have every patient that I operate on return the very next day after surgery for massage therapy. During big body countering cases, there is always a chance for seromas to appear after surgery. A seroma is a pocket of clear serous fluid that can develop. Lymphatic massage aids the body during this recovery phase by addressing swelling and any pockets of fluid that build up.

I don't get it.  Never did.  Liposuction is a great procedure.  The results are dependent on the surgeon doing the operation right.  This seems like another chance to charge the patient for something or to blame them if the results are suboptimal.  I don't think the massage hurts, but I can't imagine how it will change the long term outcome.Don't bother.Good Luck!
