Question

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear VOGI31,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon. We offer complimentary Venus Legacy Radio Frequency Treatments after liposuction and BBL
 to help with fluid mobilization.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Andrew Gear, MD · Answer

I am a big fan of lymphatic massage following surgery.  I in no way benefit financially as my patients are referred to independent practitioners of said arts.  My patients fell better faster with a concomitant decrease in overall swelling.  I consistently receive reports of increased urination following a session due to presumed mobilization of the extracellular fluids created by surgical trauma.  I cannot speak to the application of radiofrequency energy but others do use it and believe in it.

Nicholas A. Flugstad, MD · Answer

It is recommended by some plastic surgeons. Some of these treatments may help, but can also add to the overall cost of your liposuction surgery. Self massaging the areas is also quite effective. There is not any strong evidence that these post op maneuvers change your outcome, so it truly is a matter of surgeon opinion.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

I know of no scientific evidence stating massage regardless of what type has any beneficial long-term after liposuction. Be especially aware if there is a financial gain to the plastic surgery office or clinic for obtaining massage treatments after liposuction.
