I had a TT and lipo of the flank and MR. I would like to do manual lymphatic drainage massages. How many sessions a week?

Hourglass 37.  I am not a fan of lymphatic massage after Tummytuck or liposuction because it is very painful and swelling will go away on its own.  Save the money on massage and put it towards your new wardrobe after surgery!  Good luck!

Dear Hourglass 37,
This depends a lot on the surgeon and the patient. If the patient is recovering well and has minimum pain, i start the massages 5-7 days after surgery and recommend 10-15 sessions ( 1 session daily). You will have an easier and less painful recovery this way.
Best of luck!

Thanks so much for reaching out. I would wait two weeks before starting any massage and you could do a massage daily for about another two weeks.  If you had any fat grafting I would be sure to make sure the massage therapist stays away from the grafts.I hope this helps :)
