Follow your surgeon’s recommendations concerning methods to soften hardness after liposuction. Support tissue flexibility by using gentle massage and ensure proper hydration And nutrition to facilitate optimal healing. Continue wearing compression garments as recommended. they help to minimize swelling. Follow up regularly with your surgeon. Participate in mild, activities that help improve blood flow and facilitate a more comfortable healing process. Always check with your surgeon before putting in any particular measures since they should fit into you individually developed healing process.

Adhere strictly to the postoperative instructions. Discuss about manual lymphatic drainage massage therapy with your surgeon.

Wear compression garments. Compression helps reduce swelling and promotes proper healing, which may contribute to minimizing hardness.

Lumps and bumps are normal after liposuction and will usually go away on their own. Lumps can feel hard for several weeks after a procedure, but eventually, they dissipate, and the skin returns to normal. 
Your surgeon may suggest some massaging techniques to smoothen it or lessen it. 
However, tak to your plastic surgeon regarding sustained hardness.

The hardness after lipo is due to the fact that the fat cells have been removed and the skin has been tightened. The best way to get rid of the hardness is to have a massage or to use a body brush.

  • Hardness after lipo can last for several months up to a year, and swelling stays for around 6-8 months as it is the procedure's outcome. 
  • Lymphatic drainage massage helps to reduce swelling and hardness of your skin where liposuction has been performed. 

How to perform this Massage: 

  • you should always gently tug and stretch the skin without rubbing it. 
  • Use only mild touches; and avoid deep tissue massage. 
  • The Massage should be done in the direction of the lymphatic system's flow, i.e., from wrist to shoulder and from the ankle to knee.
