How Many Minutes Should I Be Massaging The Lumpy Areas Post Liposuction?

In my practice  massage plays a key role in recovery after liposuction. Massage in my opinion is a more the better and earlier better kind of thing.

l ask my patients to start massaging the 2nd or 3rd day if they can tolerate it. The patients who do this heal faster, have less pain and have a better result. Someone trained in lymphatic massage is the best but something is better than nothing.

After liposuction the sensation in the area may be decreased so you must be careful with heat and ULTRASOUND I HAVE HAD PATIENTS WHO'VE BEEN BURNED WITH ULTRASOUND.

There is no one scientifically proven effective regimen for post liposuction massage. There are myriad ways that have been recommended and which are probably are effective at various levels. My recommendation to my patients is for massaging the areas 2 - 3 times a day for a few minutes each session. They can either do it on their own or with assistance from others. Many find it inconvenient to go elsewhere for treatments whether or not there is an associated cost. Furthermore, if they work, these approaches are more problematic.
