With an ultrasonic massage what areas are they ok to go over with massager, and what areas are not ok for them to use the ultrasonic on? For lymphatic drainage massages what areas should I expect them to massage after a TT and BBL? Do they place a port or syringe IN lipo site to assist with drainage of fluids? What's OK and what's not?! The therapist I was referred to is separate from my surgeon and I don't know what to expect!
