Laser-assisted liposuction or SmartLipo is an excellent technique to remove extra fat in the thighs in properly selected patients. The procedure can greatly improve your appearance. Often patients are confused whether or not to consider lymphatic massaging after this liposuction procedure.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage (LDM) is a specialized massage technique that is recommended by plastic surgeons, after liposuction, to accelerate the recuperation period. Though not medically necessary, it may in some cases speed things up. If the patient desires it and does not mind the added expense, it has value in that small areas of fibrosis tend to resolve a bit more quickly with it. Gentle massage by the patient herself can be just as effective.
It is advised that a massage may be appropriate at two to three weeks after liposuction.
