Dear October11dowbakdoll,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Massages are recommended for the fat donor sites and are done to help relieve and reduce pain. We recommend 8-10 treatments for the body.

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

Most surgeons find that manual massage (lymphatic drainage), application of Ultra Sound massage as well as vacuum assisted massage after liposuction improve recovery in particular when it comes to postoperative lumpiness. Fat tissue "injured" with liposuction and surgery has  tendency to create lumps due to scarring. These lumps are mostly visible and palpable several weeks after liposuction and may last 6 months and longer. Lipomassage, US massage and compression garment will all help to improve this unwanted condition. We recommend at least 10 treatments starting first week after surgery. We also recommend patients to buy their own Ultra Sound massage kit ($40-$50 on internet) and use it for months treating areas of residual lumpiness. Patient's understanding of goals and potential problems and full participation in  post-operative  treatment is crucial for good result after liposuction and any other surgery. Good luck.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Lymphatic massage is OK, but I do not think it is mandatory. Recommend that you follow your plastic surgeon's post-operative guidelines.

Raffi Hovsepian, MD, FACS · Answer

Different recovery protocols are present for different patients. On average patients may not require any form of lymphatic massage; if they do, they usually require 5-15 treatments as early as 2 weeks and as late as 6-8 weeks; meaning your recovery depends on the amount of fat removed from liposuction, the areas liposuctioned, and the amount of fat transferred to your buttocks.
