360-liposuction, BBL, Mommy make-over, tummy tuck mini to extended, and extra skin removal Post-Op best to receive Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (LDT), NOT Massage, is best to receive, because it’s targeting the Lymphatic System which is also our immune system therefore healing and recovery is shorter. After fluid retention is drained, maybe on 2-3 session, scar tissues/fibrosis will be easier to palpate by the massage therapist, and MFR skin rolling is then applied to break up the thickness of the connective tissue when the body repairs to close from surgeon’s cannula tool. MFR skin rolling, cupping therapy, very light pressure, and LDT directing to drain towards the major lymph nodes (but the beginning of the session to open thoracic ducts to help Lymphatic System drain back into the subclavian vein). Being aggressive on the 1-2 session and putting too much pressure Lymphatic System will not respond well. Imagine squeezing a straw and try to siphon liquid, and liquid won’t go through and it’s stuck. Well the same as the Lymphatic System.

[@livelaughlove6952]

this was so helpful thank you!

[@MassageAndLymphaticTherapist]

There is no mention of manual lymphatic drainage techniques to address swelling and inflammation. Starting regular massage in the first 2 weeks at a "half inch to inch depth" can cause more inflammation and swelling, eventually leading to overproduction of scar tissue and fibrosis. Before and after performing the massage techniques in the video, it is imperative to perform lymphatic drainage techniques so the fluid has somewhere to go. Patients tend to push too hard with tools so I personally never recommend them using tools such as a roller in the first few weeks after surgery, especially over bony prominences such as the ribs as it can lead to bruising.

[@thereallyst]

As someone who is certified in MLD and PostOp care, I gave myself a headache shaking my head in disbelief of some of the stuff being said in this and many other videos. All of.this stuff they brought back up from unregulated countries in South America is why so many are in pain and get fibrosis. Too many are are starting their treatments too early. Using tools that they shouldn't. Removing garments before their surgeons say to. And some removing drains and aspirating blood and fluids out of incisions. This industry is turning out to be a hot mess. Too many voices saying the wrong things are going unchecked...

[@kywong8053]

​@The Animal House: AAA my doctor clinic told me that I can start massaging two weeks after lipo. I don't think it is a good idea go massage immediately after lipo.

[@MassageAndLymphaticTherapist]

@@kywong8053 if it is true MLD (manual lymphatic drainage) you can start right away. Doctors are cautious with massage, and some don’t understand the difference, because they don’t want you to go to a massage therapist who will do anything deep and make things worse. Videos like this make doctos think that massage therapists do deep massage after surgery.

Is it ideal to use the coconut oil with lymphatic massages that takes place within the first few days after lipo? If skin incisions are open or not healed will the oil irritate? If oil is not to be used, what is recommended for massages with fresh incisions?

[@sixsurgery]

Use Organic Coconut oil when massaging, even in the beginning. If incisions aren’t closed yet, you should be avoiding any pull in that area anyway, so you shouldn’t be massaging so close to them that the oil is getting inside the incision. The skin is so dry and brittle after surgery that it is quickly absorbed at the site of application, so there shouldn’t be a concern of it dripping into incision either.

[@viv3567]

We suggest consulting with your clinic on this, as this varies depending on the patient's post-op plan!

[@cynthiah6277]

Is there any safe excerise one can do to help with the lymphatic drainage? Arms lipo and stomach

[@sixsurgery]

Exercise isn't usually recommended until at least 6 weeks after your procedure, however, walking and general functional movement will help with fresh circulation and therefore promote movement of fluids.

How soon after surgery should you start the massage and using the vibration tool?

Start massaging within 24-48 hours. It doesn’t have to be aggressive massage in the beginning, but no massaging at all will allow for adhesions and scar tissue to form and clump in undesirable areas causing visible lumpiness.

Just had my lipo last week on abs hips and had BBL done. Had my first lymphatic massage on day 5, and it was so so painful! I screamed like labor pains!!! I had elite body sculpture, which is localized anesthesia. Should the massages be painful? Some people say it should NEVER be painful, others say it's normal that massages are painful post surgery (first 2 weeks).

[@sixsurgery]

At our clinic, we tell our patients that lipo massage will most likely be painful. It's not your typical massage unfortunately! The skin is tender and sensitive right after lipo but it's crucial to massage asap to prevent lumps and bumps and maintain your results. That being said, if you have any concerns about pain levels etc, always ask your health care provider.

[@MassageAndLymphaticTherapist]

Lymphatic massage should never be painful. It is a very gentle technique using the stretch of the skin and gentle pumping motions.

[@janjoy9759]

@Abby Stewart I really don't know at this point. I told my lipo specialist (Well known body sculpt in NYC) and he said yup, it's painful!!! Also the massage team that works with the facility said the same. Then others say it shouldn't be painful at all! But think about it.... they just sucked out fat from under your skin!!! It's tender and raw, and ANY touch hurts like a dear life!!! So I'm more inclined to agree that while I wish it didn't hurt, common sense says it sure DOES! And! Because I was struggling so much with painful massages and delayed at first, now I have bumps and the lipo was not even. I want to go back and have it corrected but the thought of the pain. I'd rather stay as is.. it's worst pain I've ever ever had in my life!!!

[@MassageAndLymphaticTherapist]

@@janjoy9759 I am so sorry you went through that; though unfortunately it is not uncommon. Liposuction is very traumatic to the body and they were not trained in lymphatic drainage or post-operative care; they need to understand wound healing and physiology. If someone has a swollen foot, would you squeeze it and try to "force" the fluid out? No; it is the same after liposuction. You need to work with the body's physiology and lymphatic system to encourage healing. After a couple weeks, they can work on the scar tissue but not to the point of you being in extreme pain. I'd encourage you to find a therapist certified in lymphatic and fibrosis techniques. These are 2 great resources: www.youtube.com/@KathleenHelenLisson www.youtube.com/@CancerRehabPT

So no massages at all on the belly if I’ve had a tummy tuck? Not even the lymphatic drainage massage? Only massage lipo areas?

I'm a bit confused. We are supposed to not wet or add moisture to the liposuction incisions yet we are getting massages with coconut oil. My question is, do you clean and dry incisions right after the massage and before putting our compression garment back on?

[@jaebrooks7369]

You want to use a moisturizer but avoid the areas of incision. It will compromise the integrity of the skin while the wound is healing.

[@sixsurgery]

If incisions aren’t closed yet, you should be avoiding any pull in that area anyway, so you shouldn’t be massaging so close to them that the oil is getting inside the incision. The skin is so dry and brittle after surgery that it is quickly absorbed at the site of application, so there shouldn’t be a concern of it dripping into the incision either. But organic coconut oil is much thicker and you should not be applying so much that it is soaking your incisions. Also, coconut oil is used because it is one of the more hypoallergenic products and provides a natural source of moisture :)

If you were close I would have you come to me and I would take care of it and get rid of it!

[@kelsir4184]

I picked up a Wahl massager from Walmart today. I set it to the lowest settings, laid on my back, put up my feet, and worked a similar path as my lymphatic massage therapist. It made me pee and loosened the hard spots on my stomach. I still see the therapist weekly. Hope this helps.

[@leefrancis007]

Can someone explain why you need this massage? Is it just for swelling? If so swelling will resolve on its own.

[@deea6374]

Can a homedics (vibration) hand held massager be used on the stomach area after a mini tuck and laser lipo on the upper and lower abdomen?

[@Alicemelendez0214]

The mini massager helped me soooooo much with the "cramping" feeling... very loe vibration.

[@TruthInLoveByMelly24]

How often can I self massage with muscle roller or hand massage?

[@sixsurgery]

You should be massaging as often as possible. Minimum 5 times per day. For 10-15 mins each time. Massage will be longer in length for patients who had larger amounts of Lipo done. The muscle roller can be used the same amount, but it is only beneficial over the ribcage area and throughout the flanks.

No I am a LMT and Certified Lymphatic LMT for 22 years. We are trained to feel specific hardended areas that we can decifer and understand the exact pressure that is necessary to apply.

[@kviolet7968]

@@daijahudson3423 It's better to pay someone to do it. The pressure is specific depending on each area, as well as where you are at in your healing process. You will also not be able to reach all of the areas that need attention. But with all of this said watching videos is great and you can apply what you learn in between your appointments :)

[@kviolet7968]

This video was made because when the country was shut down these post lipo patients were not able to get their massages.

[@hayesAlexa]

What about a heating blanket because you had different areas of Lipo all over

[@CamiC672]

With Kind Regards: Please consider sending your Massage Therapist to a Manual Lymphatic Drainage course or a Complete Lymphedema Therapy course so she can better understand the Anatomy of the Lymphatic System and appropriate Manual Lymph Drainage techniques. Increasing the blood circulation with deep massage and heat can actually inhibit the movement of lymph fluid by changing the permeability of the lymph and blood vessels/ this is not good post cosmetic surgery. For those that are on here for educational purposes please do not use heat right after any cosmetic surgery your sensation is diminished and you could potentially burn your skin and most importantly Ensure you do your own extensive research on Manual Lymphatic Drainage Post Cosmetic Surgery!!

[@sixsurgery]

Yes, heat is definitely a negative early on, and any patient that we have seen would have this information provided to them. It is not recommended until 3-4 weeks post-op as heat actually promotes inflammation and in the early stages of recovery, we are simply focused on reducing any swelling and inflammation in the treated areas. It is also crucial that patients seek professional massage therapy after their surgery, as only the provider assessing them, would be able to manage the decision of risk vs reward in difficult cases with fibrosis appearing very early on from improper compression or aftercare. Please note that this video was made specifically for home care during the pandemic where elective surgery had been cancelled, with the patient in mind who is 4-6 weeks out of surgery already.

[@Alicemelendez0214]

I actually really benefited from a low heat on my back after tummy tuck to avoid the stiffness. The heat was placed on my binder not on my skin. But it helped with avoiding my back from cramping.

How long after the surgery is massage benefiting?

[@sixsurgery]

You should start massaging almost immediately after lipo (as long as there was not an abdominoplasty as well) and continue to massage for several months after.

[@rosamar5228]

Getting massage next day after surgery will help to stimulate circulation of the blood and lymph fluid,I also suggested every day for 10 days. That is 10 sessions of 1hour each. At the end of the 10 sessions and the 10 days you will feel great.

[@aliciawhitmore5428]

What happens if I miss a 3 days of massages ? Could I be damaging my body ??

[@Tango-and-Cash]

Hi how long after a abdominoplasty and liposuction should you start massaging? Also do you massage on top of garment/binder or take it off?

[@sixsurgery]

DO NOT massage after a tummy tuck until at least after 4 weeks time. You can apply gentle massage over your garment before then, to stimulate circulation, but don’t touch or apply a pull at the incision site or in your abdomen if you have had muscle repair. Massage is okay throughout the flanks, sides and bra-line areas immediately after surgery, just do not touch the abdomen until the 4 week mark.

[@hdjaime76]

@@sixsurgery I had tt with muscle repair 5 weeks ago and wear the muscles are it's still very hard. I also have a hard spot a bit to the left of that. Is this normal and should I massage now?

This was a lot of great information; howeverI, I'm slightly disappointed Because none of it refers to the lower body and I was so excited to see how you were going to use that rolling pin on the lower body after lipo.

Why if it’s been over 2 years and you still have lumps. Can this still work?

Great question! Getting rid of lumps and bumps can be trickier as time goes on, but an RMT may recommend treatment such as ultrasound massage to help. It's best to speak with an RMT to determine what the best treatment will be for you.

You must let the tummy tissue heal before performing any post-op massage. After a few weeks, patients will be able to start massaging. Be sure to consult with your surgeon before trying any massage techniques!

Manual lymphatic drainage is very helpful in swelling after a tummy tuck and can be done a couple days after. If the therapist is not certified in that, then wait a couple weeks for “massage”.

I can’t even believe people do this . you can’t even massage a client you can promote fibrosis’s after a liposuction Jesus !!! If any one is watching this video be aware of that technique. There is a stage where the skin is trying to stick back to the muscles how you will recommend that.
