Great video. I had a tummy tuck 6 weeks ago and am still experiencing swelling. I use the arnica cream and bio oil and wasn’t quite sure how to do self lymphatic massage. Your video was easy to understand and follow. Thank you!
Thanks so much ! Your video has truly helped me . I'm 3 wks post op (TT) and I was debating if I needed LM. I have areas of concern that are still swollen. You have been a game changer. Thanks sooooooo much 😊
@PetraErving1854 I been doing some of the self soft massages, but yours are more clear and easier to understand the reason why. Thanks do much!!! I'm 3 week and 2 days ( 360 lipo and TT) In addition, thanks to your videos, I knew the steps. I will have my 1st Lymphatic massage next week, and already have 3 scheduled. Thank God, I didn't went crazy with massages, and other machines I heard about it I waited until my body and my mind were ready. I have some hard areas on the back but are getting less swollen hence I think they are getting softer. Your educational simple to understand are a God sent, they truly calmed me down. Thanks so much !!
You are an angel 😊 I’m 3 weeks post abdominalplasti I’m rock hard on my tummy and I’m worried about having stuck fluid I’m in pain or rather really tight discomfort I’m sure this is going to help me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge ❤❤❤
@@petraerving1854 I had the surgery and I am planning on visiting one this week. I do as you instructed and it helped tremendously. Also, dry brushing did/does wonders! ❤️😊
Thank you for this! I am 4 wks post op and LMTs in the surrounding areas are booked out for several weeks. Quick question: what about swelling below the scar line into the pubic area and upper thighs? Which direction do you go?
Absolutely. MLD supports the functioning of the lymphatic system. Its not about pushing fluid out of drains. This is about helping the body do what it does naturally 😊
Hi I had my tummy tuck 3.5 months ago I was never told by my surgeon to have this done I have a lower belly that looks like a melon now Will this type of massage help me remove the swelling I can feel the layer of fluid buildup amd I have a few hard lumps under the scar When I saw my surgeon at the 12 week check up she disregard my concerns I’m getting to the depressed stage now As my lower belly was the area that needed the tummy tuck and now it looks the same as pre opp. Need help
Hello, I am 3weeks post op and have developed a seroma. What do I need to do to help my body reabsorb it faster? Should I be doing anything additional to the lymphatic message?
thank you! i was hesitant on going to get them as i couldnt find anyone who knew how to massage tummy tuck patients and not just lipo/bbl.
I'm glad you found the video helpful 🌞

You're welcome. Thanks for commenting ❤️
Thank you for explaining and yes it helped! ❤
You’re so kind to share this information! Thank you!
I am so happy to have found this video. I have my surgery on the 30th. I was wondering if this was something I could do myself carefully. Thank you.
Yes you can. But do try to see a certified MLD therapist
@@petraerving1854 I had the surgery and I am planning on visiting one this week. I do as you instructed and it helped tremendously. Also, dry brushing did/does wonders! ❤️😊
@@Pmomma100 that's great to hear! Thanks for the feedback 😀
That's great to hear! Thanks for the feedback 😀
I haven’t had massages after my surgery …it was a year ago…is it too late for me to start these massages ?
I had a 360 FDL tummy tuck how would I do this on my back? I’m swollen and 12 days post op
How soon after surgery would you say this is safe to do? Thank you for the video!
You can do this within the first week of your surgery. But use very gentle pressure and leave your compression off for longer than about 15mins
Thank you very much for that tip. I will definitely try it.
Omg i love that❤❤❤
Is it the same with muscle repair?
Yes 😊
Is it too late if 8 months post operation?
It's never too late 😊
Thank you for this! I am 4 wks post op and LMTs in the surrounding areas are booked out for several weeks. Quick question: what about swelling below the scar line into the pubic area and upper thighs? Which direction do you go?
Below the scar, down towards your groin - the crease at the top of your leg. Same with thigh - up towards that crease.
Thank you as my thighs are so swollen I'm nearly 6 weeks post op
Thank you for this video. 3wks post op.
Thank you 😊
If you are unable to lay flat on your back due to BBL can you do this standing up?
Yes of course 👍😊
How do you massage your thighs/saddle bag area after 360 belt lipectomy? I also had a torsoplasty and breast lift, no implants, no liposuction.
Sorry for the slow reply. Where are your scars? Have you had a thigh lift? Or are your scars all hip height?
@@petraerving1854 the 360 belt lipectomy is hip height,the breast lift and torsoplasty are at the bra line.
How soon after surgery can you start to do this massage ?
You can start doing it after 2 - 3 days. But you can do the deep breathing straight away.
Does the deep breathing help with swelling
@@petraerving1854
Thank you, Petra!
You're welcome :)
what about if you also had breast reduction lift, how would you change this?
Even if you have drains you should still massage up towards the armpits?
Absolutely. MLD supports the functioning of the lymphatic system. Its not about pushing fluid out of drains. This is about helping the body do what it does naturally 😊
Thank you so much. I’m 7 weeks po Abdominoplasty and panniculectomy with muscle plication!
You're very welcome. I wish you a good and speedy recovery.
Hi
I had my tummy tuck 3.5 months ago
I was never told by my surgeon to have this done
I have a lower belly that looks like a melon now
Will this type of massage help me remove the swelling
I can feel the layer of fluid buildup amd I have a few hard lumps under the scar
When I saw my surgeon at the 12 week check up she disregard my concerns
I’m getting to the depressed stage now
As my lower belly was the area that needed the tummy tuck and now it looks the same as pre opp.
Need help
I'm so sorry to hear this. Have you been wearing compression/faja? Can you go to see an MLD therapist?
I feel like this will be me. I'm nearly 6 weeks post op
How would you do one for after a breast lift/reduction?
Thank so much
Can I push towards my scar now since I’m almost 7 weeks?
You can try.
How often should I do this throughout the day and for how many minutes at a time? When should I be seeing reduced swelling?
Hi, How long postop are you?
10 days post op
You can do it for about 10 - 15mins 2 - 3 times a day. Spend lots of time doing deep abdominal breathing beforehand 😊
Can this technique be used if it’s been 10-11 weeks after a tummy tuck?
Yes, if you still feel swollen, you can keep doing it many weeks after your surgery.
@@petraerving1854 thank you 😊 Should I use a lot of pressure since it’s been more than a couple weeks or keep it light?
You can use a deeper pressure if you're 10 - 12 weeks postop
@@petraerving1854 thank you so very much!!👍🏻
You're very welcome ☺
thank you
What about the back how do you lymphatic your back, if you have lipo360?
Doing your back is a bit tricky but you can do a sweeping stroke from middle of your back up towards your armpits
@@petraerving1854 Thank you Ms. P😍
@@ridmy5161 you're welcome 😊
Hello,
I am 3weeks post op and have developed a seroma. What do I need to do to help my body reabsorb it faster? Should I be doing anything additional to the lymphatic message?
Keep wearing your compression with a foam insert. Can you see your doctor/surgeon? They might want to aspirate it.
Does this work for upper abdominal swelling?
Absolutely 💯
Thank you !
Thanks 😊
You're welcome 😊
Thankyou.x
When should we massage closer to the scar line?
The scar will have formed after 21 days. After that its remodeling. So anytime from then 😊
Can you make a video showing how to massage with TT and full
Back Lipo. Thank you kindly.
Will do 👍
Thank you, Petra!!
Thank you 😊
Thank you
