Everyone talks about massaging the scar...but no one says how to do it or our hard etc. Can you massage the stomach if it is still sore to the touch after 5 months? Is lymphatic massage good for it? What kind of massage do you recommend? Thank you for answering.

Answer: Massage after a Tummy Tuck
Lymphatic massage after tummy tuck is a great way to help get rid of the swelling. Many of the better spas in town will have trained experts who can do this for you. After 5 months, you can massage as firmly as you want as you are fully healed and will not harm anything. Good luck.

Answer: Scar Massage at 5 Months Following Tummy Tuck and Liposuction
Scar massage can be effective for the first year after surgery or longer. The type of massage and what is needed is largely dependent upon your anatomy and point of recovery. Your plastic surgeon will have better insight into your specific case. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
