Ask your surgeon when it’s safe to self massage

Where can I get the chin foam from?

[@KathleenHelenLisson]

Your Lymphatic massage therapist choose one that is a Certified Lymphedema Therapist

I’m now 9 days post op and at the one week follow up my surgeon told me to start massage and that any tightness or hard patches would soften over time. I trust him completely but I’m still super worried that the hardness will be permanent. In your experience is this normal? And if so will it in fact get better over time with massage and continued use of my compression garment?

[@KathleenHelenLisson]

It’s up to the quality of the therapist you have hired.

[@KathleenHelenLisson]

Are you going to book a professional massage?

Hi. About how long do you leave the cups on the under chin area? Do you move around fast?

[@KathleenHelenLisson]

I do not leave the cups on at all. If you'd like more advice, please book a session with a lymphatic massage therapist in your area for personalized recommendations.

I am 2 weeks post-op chin lipo and I think I have fibrosis... I have been massaging myself since 4 day pos-op :( Im scared its permanent. Its hard, lumpy and it restricts my movement

[@babygurl6078]

How’s your post-op recovery? Have you tried lymphatic drainage massage? It helps!!!

[@Ayzed96]

Does the fibrosis gone? Cause i had chin lipo 11 dyas ago and developed hard firm area like lumps

[@mariaraquelsanchez7909]

Hi! I am 2 weeks post op from chin lipo and I Was wondering if the massage wont let the skin thighten up? Could the massage prevent the skin to adhere again and therefore to stay loose? Thanks!

[@KathleenHelenLisson]

If you are worried please speak with your plastic surgeon. Most surgeon advise massage after liposuction.
