I had liposuction on my thighs and flanks and have almost no results. I was recently informed that after liposuction i need to have lymphatic massage to help with recovery. Could this be why I've had no results? It's been 2 months
Answer: How important is lymphatic massage after liposuction? Lymphatic massage after liposuction may hasten your return to daily activities, but would not account for your lack of results at two months. Although the final results of liposuction of the flanks and thighs may not be present for 4-6 months, you should see some differences at this time. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon including reviewing your before and after photos. Good luck.

Answer: Liposuction Results & After care includes: lymphatic massage, RF treatments (Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra) Cellutone/zwave You will have swelling 3-6 months after your procedure, which could be why you don't feel like you're seeing results. I always recommend lymphatic massage along with customized compression and hyperbaric oxygen after liposuction to help reduce swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance.

Answer: Liposuction Lymphatic massage helps to hasten recovery but does not impair a full recovery if not done. It is more useful in larger liposuction cases where a significant amount of fat 4-5 L is removed. I would encourage you to see your before and after photos since you probably do have some results although maybe not what you expected. Maybe after going over these with your surgeon you could decide whether or not to undergo a revision.

Answer: Massage after liposuction Thank you for your question.Although lymphatic massage helps with recovery from liposuction, it does not effect the end result. The end result after liposuction is dependent on how much was taken out and what you as the patient do to stay in shape and eat healthy. The work is not over after surgery, as the patient you need to eat healthy and exercise to increase the result you get. Lymphatic massage helps to speed recovery, but does not increase your result.
