What Does It Mean to “Feed Fat”?
To ‘feed fat’ after a BBL or fat transfer procedure -means to eat enough nutritious calories to sustain your newly injected fat grafts. It takes around 3-6 months for the fat cells in your butt to stabilise and become a natural part of your body.

As lymphatic drainage massage affects the more superficial tissues that cause cellulite, the result is a smoother, more even skin tone in the areas where a client has cellulite.

Swelling and inflammation are some of the biggest concerns patients have after plastic surgery. The quicker you can get the swelling and inflammation to go down after a surgical procedure, the quicker you can enjoy the aesthetic benefits the procedure provides. Post surgical lymphatic massage will speed up the anti-inflammatory processes and help reduce swelling at a much quicker rate.

Post-operative care is an essential part of ensuring the success of any surgical procedure, including cosmetic surgery. One crucial aspect of postoperative care involves managing swelling and inflammation. While wound drainage through a Jackson Pratt drain or any other drain placed by the surgeon is an acceptable technique to manage swelling and inflammation, therapists draining the surgical wound site through the application of pressure or squeeze fluid also known as incisional drainage massages or sometimes known as wet drainages or Colombian drainage, can have negative effects on post-operative recovery. This paper aims to examine the detrimental effects of incisional drainage massages and highlight the importance of using alternative techniques to manage post-operative swelling and inflammation.

Recent studies have shown that incisional drainage massages can cause an increase in inflammation and prolonged healing time. The opening of the incision site exposes the surgical wound to external contaminants and increases the risk of infection. It has been shown that this technique can lead to more fibrosis and fluid buildup, prolonging the inflammatory process. The use of this technique has also led to the loss of licenses for some therapists.

It is worth noting that some lymphatic massage locations may claim to provide lymphatic massage, but in fact, conduct this harmful incisional drainage massages technique. Therefore, it is crucial to be aware of the techniques being used and select reputable therapists who use safe and effective alternatives.

Incisional drainage massages involve the opening of the surgical incision site and applying pressure to remove the fluid. This technique has been used for many years in postoperative care. However, recent studies have shown that this technique can have negative effects on post-operative recovery. The opening of the incision site can lead to increased inflammation, and the body may respond by producing more fluid, leading to prolonged healing time and more fibrosis. Furthermore, the opening of the incision site increases the risk of infection, as it exposes the surgical wound to external contaminants.
