I did a lymphatic massage after 4 days of my Tummy tuck. Now I'm worried. Should I be worried? (Photo)

Hello.  If I understand you correctly, you had two lymphatic massage sessions beginning four days after your tummy tuck.  Typically, lymphatic massages use very light pressure to encourage lymphatic drainage/swelling to resolve quicker.  I see that you have two drains still in place in this photo.  I would think there would be no reason to be worried at this point.  I would refrain from further massages for at least a few weeks, as they may be uncomfortable and I would think not be all that helpful.  You can also ask your plastic surgeon for further guidance about the correct time to begin these treatments.  I wish you a speedy recovery.
Cheers,

Thank you for your question. Judging from your picture, it appears your doctor did a nice job. However, unless the lymphatic massage you had was done under the supervision of your surgeon, it is probably not the best idea to add anything to your postoperative routine that they don't know about and/or prescribe. Remember that your ultimate result is a team effort between you and your surgeon. The surgeon is the coach and you need to follow their advice to insure the best possible result.
