Is massage necessary after BBL?

Question

I see patients doing several lymphatic drainage massages to move the stored fluids. This massage seems popular in South America (where ill do my bbl) and sometimes obligatory. I hear that its very painful. Why is it necessary? How often should i do and when should i start? ill do aggressive lipo for my bbl

Hi... thank you for the question... Yes, in order to promote healing and prevent humps, the lymphatic drain massage are indicated in my practice... They are not painful when done the right way.

HelloYes they are necessary because in order to harvest the fat for the BBL You need to have a liposuction and for every liposuction the  lymphatic drainage massages are recommended to accelerate the healing process and get much better results

Thanks for your question. We provide our patients with post-op massages as part of their surgical package. The lymphatic massages help soothe the areas of swelling or bruising. Best of Luck, Dr. Newall

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Each doctor has their own protocol. It is very important that you talk to him and follow his instructions.
I suggest my patients get at least 10 sessions of lymphatic massages and to use a full body compression garment, 24/7 for the first 3 months, and after that, for 12 hours a day for 3 more months, to get the best results.
It is important for the compression garment to be very tight, for it to help with the swelling, after surgery.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Some surgeons recommend with massage with liposuction and BBL, and others do not. I think you have to ask your surgeon what his preference is.

we recommend postop lymphatic massages.  we typically start these within a few days of this procedure and similarly include them in our surgical packages.  good luck!
