Can massages smooth out my lumps at 9 months post BBL? (Photos)

Question

I never got my massages after my surgery like an idiot becuase I couldn’t afford it st the time which I know is not a good excuse. I love my results but I feel like they could improve and not be as lumpy. Is it possible for massages to smooth out my lumps?

The buttocks should not be massaged after a BBL.  There is no scientific evidence that massage has any positive impact on liposuction results. Liposuction results are the term and by how the procedure is performed. This is an most part a direct reflection of who does the procedure. At this point massage is certainly not going to have an impact on your liposuction results.  Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D.

At 9 months, the fat has settled and would not benefit from massages. But based on your pictures, you are an excellent candidate for a BBL revision procedure with massages immediately following.The optimal BBL outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons.  A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or Facetime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
