Do Post-Op Massages Help With Scars?

At BeautyFix, massages are about more than relaxing. They can also help with your healing process, especially after undergoing plastic surgery. So before you go under the knife, let’s talk post-care lymphatic drainage massages and their different kinds. 

When you have surgery, your body goes through a lot of changes. You might experience swelling, bruising, scarring, pain, and discomfort. Post-op massages can help reduce these symptoms by increasing blood flow and promoting lymphatic drainage. However, not all massages are created equally. At BeautyFix Plastic Surgery, we offer multiple post-op massage treatments that are specifically designed to help with lymphatic drainage and reduce scarring. Whether your post-op goals are to reduce cellulite, promote scar healing or even reduce fluid buildup, our post-op massage treatments are here to take your results to the next level, just in time for bikini season.

Break Down Cellulite with Wood or Metal Therapy

Wood you try one of these post-op massages? Wood and metal therapy massages work by utilizing wood or metal tools on the body post-procedure to deliver pressure to the area. This as a result breaks down any leftover cellulite or excess fat in that area of the body. This helps break down scar tissues and smooth-out lumps. In addition to its benefits as a body contouring follow-up treatment, these massages are also believed to balance your energy and relieve stress while also reducing muscle and joint pain.

Nothing Can Beat a Good Old Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Let’s go back to basics. A lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique that targets your lymphatic system with light pressure. This technique allows for the lymph fluid in your body to flow with ease through your system. When done as an after-surgery massage treatment, lymphatic drainage massages work to flush the body of toxins and reduce swelling, leaving you feeling refreshed, radiant, and ready to show off your results!

Feel Brand New with Radiofrequency

Radiofrequency massages work using a handheld device to apply high-frequency electromagnetic waves to the body's tissues. After a surgical procedure, this massage can not only relieve pain and swelling that may still be lingering after your surgery, but it can also accelerate your healing and promote new tissue growth through the stimulation of collagen. 

Complement the Massages with Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy massages work by using a low wavelength red light to improve the appearance of the skin. This treatment works to reduce wrinkles, scars, redness, and acne, so you can show off your surgery results with confidence! This massage treatment is a painless and safe addition to your post-op care routine.  

The best part? There is typically little to no downtime associated with the massages. Generally performed a few days/weeks after surgery, patients need at least five to ten sessions of post-op massages to see the best results. Our team works with patients on a 1-on-1 basis to track their progress and adjust the treatment plan accordingly, to ensure the best possible outcome.
