How to do home care massageafter liposuction

Abdominal liposuction home care

Please maintain your posture with your back straight. (A pregnant woman’s pose with her stomach slightly protruding is also good.) For customers who must sit continuously, placing a cushion on your back can help you maintain your posture. Please massage frequently. (at least 30 minutes) Proceed with the massage by applying pressure as if pressing the abdomen with the entire palm, and use stronger pressure around the navel. Massage may be painful if applied directly to the skin, so it can be done over a compression garment. Pull the compression garment up and down frequently to prevent wrinkles from forming on your abdomen.

Thigh liposuction home care

In the evening, the swelling may reach the calf area, so place a cushion under your feet and elevate your feet when you sleep. Taking a foot bath is good for relieving swelling. (However, it is prohibited for those who have had surgery on the calf area as water may come into contact with the incision area.) When wearing compression garments, straighten the area below the hips and groin area to avoid bunching up. Massage may be painful if applied directly to the skin, so it can be done over a compression garment.

Arm liposuction home care

If the skin in the armpit area touches soreness, use the armpit pad included with the compression garment to prevent it from touching the skin. Raise both arms upward, clasp your arms together, and stretch your arms by moving them back and forth from side to side repeatedly. Massage may be painful if applied directly to the skin, so it can be done over a compression garment. Massage in an upward motion from the underside of the arm towards the armpit.

Calf liposuction home care

Be sure to wear compression stockings. (If it swells a lot, you can leave it on for a while.) If the compression garment is pushed around or feels numb in the lumbar area, take off the compression garment and put it back on after an hour or two (there is a risk of scarring). If the edema is severe and the numbness is severe, or the compression garment is frequently pushed into the popliteal area, wear the compression garment after 2 to 3 days and after the swelling has subsided to some extent.
