It's been a roller coaster ride. From day of lipo and breast augmentation- looking good. carved out and excited. Then swollen and rigid in the abdomen... after 3 months of compression garment, I am swollen everywhere else. Month 4 - some relief. But puffy- Everything seems bigger-ankles to finger tips. But most prominent swelling and "fat" seems to be in lymph drainage channels. Also. Top of butt is hard and numb. I can't fit in my clothes ? My butt wasn't touched by surgeon

Answer: Is Lymphatic drainage back up normal 6 months out of lipo?
There is no scientific evidence that massage improves the outcome after liposuction or fat transfer procedures.
It would be inappropriate for any of us to give you recommendations other than what your plastic surgeon recommended.
My practice is devoted exclusively to liposuction and fat ...
I do not recommend lymphatic massages for my patients after liposuction and BBL. Carefully orchestrate any lymphatic messages with your plastic surgeon.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
I would use a combination approach to revision that includes liposuction, lipocavitation, fibrous release, fat grafting, scar release, PRP SC, and multiplane tissue tightening with RF.
Best,
