My doctor says I need to massage with a hand held massager post liposuction but I think it is too early and it hurts like heck?

5 days post tumlescent liposcution upper and lower abs. I still have pain. At post op visit gave me instructions to use a hand held massager for 30 minutes a day per area , along with this whole other process involving first putting hot towels on the area and a bag of hot water for 30 minutes than removing them as well as using Vitamin E Oil. My incisions are not leaking but I still have bandaids on them they are not healed. I cannot tolerate it and an hour and a half a day?
