Is lymphatic massage is required for every BBL?

HiThanks for the question.  Massage is not required for every BBL.  It is not required at all, it is a surgeon preference thing.  "The
above answer has been given without seeing this patient and cannot be substituted
for actual in-person examination and medical advice,; it is only opinion. Seek
in-person treatment with a trained medical professional for appropriate
care."

Hello and thank you for your question.  Lymphatic massage is not required after BBL.  Be sure to talk to your board certified plastic surgeon and see what protocol enables the best results in their patient protocol.  I hope this helps!Sincerely,Dr. Sean Kelishadi

This is not a requirement but some patients do find it useful in getting down the swelling faster.  Ask your PS about it.

My practice is devoted exclusively to various forms of liposuction and fat transfer.We do not ask any of our patients to engage in massage after these procedures.If patients want to have massage after liposuction they can do so barring that it does not cause any discomfort.For a BBL or any fat grafting procedure massage is a big no-no on any of the areas that were fat grafted. I can't  think of a better way to lose the grafted fat than to massage it.in order for the fat to survive you want to do the opposite.Avoid pressure and immobilize the area.I would absolutely not engage in massage in an area treated  with fat grafting or fat transfer.Ask your plastic surgeon what he or she recommends.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.
