Lymphatic drainage massage helps reduce swelling (edema) by promoting fluid movement through the lymphatic system. It speeds up healing by enhancing circulation, reduces the risk of infection, minimises scar tissue formation, and can alleviate discomfort associated with post-op swelling.

Compression garments are essential for reducing swelling and helping your body heal into its new shape. To manage discomfort:

• Ensure the garment fits properly—not too tight.

• Gradually increase wear time to allow your body to adjust.

• Use soft padding or additional clothing under the garment in sensitive areas.

• Consult your surgeon if the discomfort persists.

Post-surgery, it’s not uncommon to experience changes in your menstrual cycle, including heavier flow and sharp pain in the groin due to the body's inflammatory response and hormonal fluctuations. If the pain is severe or persists, consult your doctor to rule out any complications.

Final results typically take 6 to 12 months to fully manifest. During this period, your body will continue to heal, and swelling will gradually subside, revealing the final shape and contours.

Yes, inflammation will gradually decrease over time. The bulk of the swelling typically subsides within the first few weeks, but some residual swelling may persist for several months as your body heals.

Swelling in the genital area can occur after surgery, particularly if the procedure involves the lower abdomen or thighs. This swelling is generally temporary and should decrease as the healing process progresses. If you experience significant or persistent swelling, it's a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure everything is healing as expected.

Initially, it’s recommended to have lymphatic drainage sessions 4-5 times per week for the first two weeks, if not more. As your healing progresses, your therapist may reduce the frequency based on your individual recovery needs.

Lymphatic drainage should typically begin 24-48 hours after surgery, depending on your surgeon’s advice. Early intervention can significantly reduce swelling and discomfort, and speed up the healing process.

Starting a month after your procedure isn’t too late, but earlier intervention is ideal. However, lymphatic drainage can still be beneficial even after a delay, as it helps reduce residual swelling and discomfort.

The number of sessions varies depending on the extent of the surgery and your body's response. Generally, 10-15 sessions are recommended, but your therapist will tailor the treatment plan based on your recovery.

Typically, you’ll need to wear your faja for at least 6-8 weeks post-op. The first 2-3 weeks are the most critical, where you should wear it 24/7, removing it only for short periods like showering. Afterward, you may gradually reduce wear time as advised by your surgeon.

• Immediate Post-Op (0-2 Weeks): Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are at their peak. Compression garments and lymphatic drainage are crucial.

• Early Recovery (2-6 Weeks): Swelling begins to reduce, and bruising fades. You’ll start seeing some contour improvements.

• Mid Recovery (6-12 Weeks): Continued reduction in swelling; firmness in tissues may persist, but results are more visible.

Final Stage (3-12 Months): Swelling should be minimal. The final results become more apparent as your body fully heals.

Yes, stiffness and hardness are common due to post-op swelling and the formation of scar tissue. Lymphatic drainage and gentle massage can help alleviate this sensation over time.

Fluctuations in swelling are normal and can be influenced by various factors such as your activity level, diet, hydration, and even hormonal changes. It’s part of the healing process and should gradually stabilize.

Numbness is common after surgery due to nerve disruption during the procedure. This sensation usually improves over time as the nerves regenerate. If the numbness persists or worsens, consult your surgeon.

Yes, it is normal for various body parts and extremities, such as your hands, feet, or ankles, to be swollen after receiving liposuction. This swelling is a natural response as your body retains fluid and reacts to the trauma of the surgery. Gravity can also cause fluid to settle in the lower parts of your body. This swelling should gradually decrease over time with proper post-op care, including wearing compression garments, receiving lymphatic drainage massages, and following your surgeon’s instructions. If the swelling persists or worsens, it’s important to consult your surgeon.
