Is it safe to use a massage chair at the mall 16 days post op tummy tuck and BA?

Question

For body ache. It just massages the back and posterior legs. Thanks

John Paletta, MD · Answer

I think it probably will be safe. There are several factors to consider number one where are your incisions and will the chair be massaging against those incisions. Also what position will you be in you cannot lie flat after a tummy tuck.  It would be best to ask your operative surgeon. Good luck.

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question.  As the majority of the massage effects would be to your back and legs it is likely safe to use the chair.  Always best to clear new activities with your surgeon.  Best wishes.

Gaurav Bharti, MD, FACS · Answer

Most likely this should not be an issue.  I would absolutely check in with your surgeon to make sure.  Take care
