Professional massages

Dr. Hazani recommended that I started my massages at home during my first post op appointment (2 day post op). I have been massaging myself daily since; a lot of fluid disappeared or hardened - is this fibrosis?!
During week 3.5 post op, I contemplated on seeking a professional for massages. Dr. Hazani says it’s not necessary, and I spent many nights researching about this topic - there a lot of pages from surgeons saying that it may increase with healing (swelling), but patients are often left with the same results in the end - so I thought to myself is it worth the extra expense to help my swelling? Let me tell you, this surgery is more than what is stated at face value (investing in supplies, food, garment, massages, etc).
I finally decided to see a professional for lymphatic drainage massage and to help with what I think is fibrosis. I booked my first massage during my 5 weeks post op. I have a lot of small hard lumps on my side and a few on my abs and back - I do feel a difference with these massages. The hard spots are getting smaller! I do want to sync up with someone that have had similar situation as me, but decided to not get professional massages. I’m also curious if the massages are absolutely necessary or not.

(*Note: my measurements seems to stabilize around day 12).
=================
SUMMARY
=================
Post op DAY 7-8:
- Bruising/swelling traveled to my lower legs (day 7) and foot (day 8)
Post op DAY 11:
- Can now bend down and touch the floor
Post op DAY 14:
- 2 weeks post op appointment with Dr. Hazani
=================
DETAILS
=================
POST OP DAY 7 - 8
------------------------------
As each day pass, the swelling on my thighs are getting better. Today was when I noticed the swelling and bruising traveling downward to my shins and to my foot (by day 8). It travels downward bc of gravity.
------------------------------
POST OP DAY 9 - 11
------------------------------
How did I manage to lose 5lbs within these 2 days (from 147 to 142)?! I’m hoping it has to do with the swelling/water retention because I do not want to lose any volume.
I couldn’t bend down to grab stuff off the floor because my vagina was so swollen; however, on day 10&11, it marks the day where I was able to comfortable to bend down without being in too much discomfort -YAY! Also, I’d say I feel a lot better! No pain at all, just discomfort (lower back pain) from being on my stomach the whole time. I’m finding myself sleeping for a longer duration and waking up less in the middle of the night. I have been getting 6.5-8 hours of sleep each day, but they’re more like 3 hour naps throughout the day - anyone else experiencing this, too?
------------------------------
POST OP DAY 14
------------------------------
Had my 2 week post op appointment with Dr. Hazani. Everything seems to look good and went over my questions. Can take off my binder off in a couple of days (OMG, YAY! That thing is so uncomfortable to sleep in). My next appointment will be in 6 weeks. I had a pocket of fluid that I couldn’t massage out, so he drained it.
------------------------------
POST OP DAY 15+
------------------------------
Not much of a difference here. No pain, just back pain from being in ‘unnatural position’ from being on my stomach.
I'm here for any questions (or if you want to just stop by to say hi)! Feel free to comment below or just send me a private message :)

Congratulations on your awesome results! You look amazing! Thank you for posting your experience in such detail. I appreciate you also posting the post surgery supplies that will be needed. How are you feeling and how is your recovery coming along?
February 25, 2018
Aww, yay! Really glad you like my detailed review! no pain at all. the pain is mainly from the lipo areas (no pain from the injected fat). Only thing is I’m tired of being on my stomach, so I’m looking forward to be able to sleep on my back/side. In regards to recovery and changes to my body, I’d say I’ve been stable; not a huge difference from this post.. unless I eat a lot of sodium (I will bloat, swell, and more retain water, but that usually goes away a couple days after).
March 5, 2018
hi I just wanted to ask how are you liking your results now? we are about the same measurements before surgery and just wanted to see if you are still happy with your results? I’m scheduled with him in a few days lol
March 5, 2018
I will be 100% honest with you. I really love my front view. he snatched me well (he didn’t overdo it) and gave me hips I never had - which I love! As far as my actual ass and projection, i am happy with my projection (I’m hoping it doesn’t shrink anymore!), but I was hoping a more upside down heart shape. As of today, it still sits very high (he calls it a shelf) and should be able to see it drop in the months to come. Since i won’t be able to see the final results until 4-6 months after, I don’t have a solid opinion on it just yet! I promise you my body looks better in person than these pix, but I think it’s because I’m not posing in these pictures. We all know posing can totally change how a person looks! ;)
March 6, 2018
thanks so much for replying! yes I want a heart shaped butt too, did u ask him for the heart shape or he just did what he thought was good? I love ur results but I see what u mean by the shelf. i don’t want a shelf either :/ did he provide compression socks or did u buy some? I’m really excited but nervous lol
March 6, 2018
We walked through what I want during my preop appointment (which was the day before my Sx). I showed him pix from online that I liked as well as pointed out his patients outcome with that shape (he has a lot on his computer that are not on his IG). I also got my breasts done; similar situation.. they sat very high in the beginning but slowly drops (I’m using that rationale and hoping its the same with BBL, haha). He didn’t give me compression socks. I would HIGHLY recommend getting them! Although everyone heals differently, I def swelled up like CRAZY! He provides you with binder, garment, and bbl pillow.
March 6, 2018
I have my preop this Friday so I guess I will be sure to ask him if he can deliver the heart shaped booty ;) did u have time to talk to him the morning of surgery? I would like to remind him EXACTLY what I want right before going under. I think that’s the thing I’m most concerned about is getting the shape I want. I’m gonna make sure I buy the socks before, thank you! :)
March 6, 2018
you go in early to do A LOT of paperwork, and he marks you right before your Sx
March 22, 2018
Thank you for the detailed post. I have surgery tomorrow and I am going back to work 10 days after. I'm typically a fast healer but never had cosmetic surgery so I don't know what to expect. This post helped though!
March 22, 2018
glad this was helpful, and I am so excited for you! My legs and butt were very sore, so going up/down steps was a challenge, and I recommend having someone drive you to/from work just in case - I didn’t start driving until 2.5 weeks post op (pressure from the bbl pillow was a little painful).
March 22, 2018
I am un my car 80% of the day. I travel from place to place so I am going to have to get creative for comfort. Lol. It doesnt help that I started my peruod today either. Ugh! I called the office and they said that was fine and surgery will still take place.
