The video is graphic, but we love educating and showing what really happens behind the scenes during recovery. This is also a great example of why post-op massages should not be skipped.
Because this video was only about a minute long, I could only include so much, so I wanted to explain a little more here.
Our client was 5 days post-op and had only received 1 massage before seeing us. By the time we got to her, she was extremely swollen, had a lot of fluid buildup, was experiencing shortness of breath, and overall was not feeling well.
As you can see in the video, she went down tremendously after her session and released a lot of old fluid buildup. During the massage, we also focused heavily on deep breathing to help her open her lungs back up and improve her breathing. By the end of the session, she was breathing better, talking better, and overall felt much stronger. Her mom even noticed the difference in her voice right away. She was also finally able to get up and shower on her own.
To clarify, the gel-like fluid shown in the video was fluid buildup. I’ve seen this before from tummy tuck clients in their drains , but this was our first time seeing this much come out directly from an incision.
Since it was unusual in appearance, I had her send it to her surgeon as a precaution, and the response shown was directly from her surgeon
No BBL was done—this client only had Lipo 360
