Is red light therapy good to do after lipo and BBL?

I've read it is good for pain,healing and blood circulation but I have also read it aids in weight loss which I wouldn't want due to the bbl. Some studies say it doesn't aid in weight loss and others say it does. Is it worth trying for faster healing.
