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.

Answer: Massages can be started after 1 week post liposuction.
There is no scientific evidence that massage improves the outcome after liposuction or fat transfer procedures.

I do not recommend lymphatic massages for my patients after liposuction and BBL. Carefully orchestrate any lymphatic messages with your plastic surgeon.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
