Not every doctor knows about or appreciates the importance of lymphatic treatments. I do think the technique works well. Best wishes and congratulations, Dr. Aldo

Hello dear!!
  
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
  
I recommend my patients have massages daily right after 
surgery, but each surgeon has a different protocol. 
Good luck :)

Thank you for your question. It is not always necessary to drain with a needle , only when you are having accumulations of liquid in 1 specific place under the skin (seroma). The lymphatic massages can normally handle the transport and removal of the liquid very well. Best of luck
