Post laser lipo massages recommended?

Hi mjmom,

Your surgeon is correct that you dont need to get any post operative massages but it can help.  I will preface this by saying there is no study that has statistically shown that post operative lymphatic massages benefit.  Having said that I routinely recommend that patients invest in a series of post op lymphatic massages and add some external RF devices to tighten the skin post op.  My patients who have invested in this post operative care have done better than my patients who do not, in my opinion.

I would recommend trying atleast one lymphatic massage and take it from there.  

Thank you for your question,

Following laser liposuction, it is not required that you massage the treated areas. However, some patients do find that it helps. You could give a massage a try if you feel comfortable and see if there are improvements. Some surgeons offer post-op lymphatic massages; I would ask your surgeon if this is offered. Best of luck!
