What are the benefits or advantages of having post-surgical massages? Mara our massage therapist give us the answer to this question and talks about why it's so important to have massages at Avana Plastic Surgery.
Moderator: I'm here with Mara, our massage therapist at Avana Plastic Surgery. She's going to be explaining to you all about all the benefits of having massages after your surgery. Hi, Mara. Hi, Mary. How are you doing?Massage therapist: Very good. Thank you.
Moderator: Mara sees our patients every day. Can you please explain to us a little bit about the reason behind massages after procedures and why it's so important to get them?
Massage therapist: So it's very important to get your massages the day after surgery just because they help relieve the fluid. Any fluid that remains inside of your body gets hard and then turns into fibrosis. Fibrosis is something that's not gonna be able to get rid of right off. So then, you know, you will have to do more massages and deep tissue in order to get rid of it. So it's best to just start off right after surgery and start your massages, and then you have your best result.
Moderator: So you recommend patients have their first massage right after surgery?
- The next day, they come over here. They get seen by the doctor. They get seen for their follow-up, and then they get their massage done with Mara, who's going to eliminate all that lymphatic drainage.
Massage therapist: Exactly.
Moderator: Can you also explain to us the advantages of having the massage done here at Avana? Because I know that all of our patients have tons of options. There are plenty of massage centers in Miami and where you live.
- However, it's really important for us that you get them done here at Avana. In fact, most of our doctors require that you get your massages done here with us. Lauren, can you please explain why it's so important to get them done here at Avana?
Massage therapist: It's very important to get them done here at Avana because it's better if I'm aware of your doctor. I know all about the incisions.
- I know exactly what your doctor is looking for when you get a massage. Some places might not know exactly what to do, and then you might end up with fluid left inside, and then you will wanna come back to Avana for us to fix it. But it's just best to just stick with us, and we'll take care of you.
Moderator: And not only that, if you're having a massage and there's something that she wants the doctor to see. The doctor is already here in the center, and he can easily come over and check it out.
- So that's why we always recommend our patients to get massages with us and a minimum of 5. But if you are here for longer, you can do 10. If you're here in Miami, how many do you recommend?
Massage therapist: I think a minimum is 10, but your body will tell you if you need more. So if you need more after 10 sessions, I'll suggest you do more.
Moderator: And for which procedures do we do massages?
Massage therapist: We do massages for the BBL, which is the Lipo 360, and we also do our massages for the tummy tuck.
Moderator: Perfect. Fantastic. And we don't touch the buttocks area. Right?
Massage therapist: We don't touch the buttocks. So, even if you get a BBL, we're not gonna be touching that area, but we will be touching everything else to make sure that we remove all of that fluid that you have accumulated and make sure that your liposuction results are as smooth as possible.
Moderator: And I know Mara is an expert at this, and you'd be in wonderful hands with her. So thank you so much for being here with us, and thanks for explaining it to all of our patients. Thank you.
