How soon can I get a lymphatic massage post surgery?

August 4, 2017
Asked By:CeCe2021 in Washington, MO

I got liposuction a couple of days ago. Of course I am quite swollen as expected. Plus I didn't have any drainage issue. As a matter of fact no leakage at all. I don't know if it normal so I was wondering how soon I can get a lymphatic massage.
