A post-liposuction massage could consist of many techniques depending on the advice of your surgeon. However, the most common modality we use is lymphatic drainage through the use of a machine that vibrates the body, but your surgeon will guide you as to what is the best massage for a complete and effective therapy for your specific needs. Everyone is different and requires a plan specific to your personal healing and process. Whatever they suggest, we’ll be able to provide a mix of techniques used at varying intensity based on your recovery following your liposuction.
Why do you have to massage after lipo?
Immediately following your liposuction surgery you’ll suffer from swelling, bruising and discomfort due to the tissue damage caused during the procedure. A lot of people don’t realise that fat is an important tissue, which is both active and living and contains good cells as well as the bad, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. These play an important role in energy storage and hormone regulation which is why we often put weight on around our middle when our hormones change during menopause. It stands to reason that when we remove the fat, these vessels and cells are damaged. This causes blood and lymph fluid to accumulate and as we’ve created more space for it to pool, it sits in what we recognise as lumps.
This is in addition to the damage we have done to our lymphatic system during the procedure, one of the systems along with our venous system which we need to balance fluids. When these are out of balance, as they are in this situation, swelling occurs (lymphoedema).
Whilst some swelling is good for natural healing (it carries the body’s natural healing system) in this case, the excess swelling is due to the imbalance. We remove this with a lymphatic drainage massage in which your legs are placed in a ‘legging suit’ which is inflated and pressurised using compressed air for a period of time. This pressure is able to move muscles that pump lymph throughout the body easing any excess swelling.
