On average, how much are post-op BBL lymphatic drainage massages? And, in general, about how many are recommended?

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question i recommended 10 lymphatic massage with ultrasonic.

Thanks for your question.
The cost of lymphatic massages varies. We include two lymphatic massages with our BBL procedure. Additional massages are $100 each and we also offer package rates.We recommend for our patients to start lymphatic massages 2 to 3 days after surgery. And recommend 2 to 3 massages a week for a total of 10 to 12 massages. The end point for massages is usually when all the lipo areas feel soft and the contour is smooth.
Every surgeon has their own routine and we suggest you confirm with the surgeon you choose for your surgery.
Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.
Take care,

Lymphatic massages may be of benefit, but your massages should be carefully orchestrated with your plastic surgeon.  I have only seen complications like hematoma and seroma due to increased pressure from the massage. I do not recommend lymphatic massage for my patients, because I feel as though if the result is smooth on the table, the result can only be sabotaged.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Each doctor has their own protocol. I suggest my patients to get, at least 10 session of lymphatic massages, to get the best results.The average cost varies a lot depending on the clinic, the country and the plastic surgeon. l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

there's no scientific evidence that massage whether sold as lymphatic or not has any benefit after liposuction. There are without question doctors who have a secondary gain by promoting this due to financial relationships. No question there are doctors who truly believe lymphatic massage helps their patients.  My practice is devoted exclusively to liposuction and fat transfer procedures. I perform about 400 of these per year. None of my patients get lymphatic massage and results are consistently good.  My best guess is a 45 min massage is around $100.  That's $1000 for 10 massages.  When I see evidence that lymphatic massage helps my patience then I may also recommend this treatment but for now I do not. The worst case scenario is patients who out of misinformation get a massage after fat transfer which is a disastrous combination. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
