Endermologie After Plastic Surgery - Benefits and Drawbacks
Advertisement
Plastic surgery procedures including breast implants, body contouring and body lifts involve extensive manipulation of the body’s tissues and the final result may not look completely sculpted or smooth. While many plastic surgeons encourage patients to pursue massage therapy after recovery is over to help the body heal and reduce the risks of bumps and lumps developing after surgery, patients may also benefit from the FDA-approved treatment called Endermologie.
Endermologie uses mechanical rollers and heat to increase circulation in the body and is typically performed to address cellulite; however, it is a powerful and relatively effective body reshaping treatment for patients who are noticing small bumps and dimples in certain areas after plastic surgery.
How Endermologie Works
Endermologie is a non-invasive procedure that has become increasingly popular in recent years as more people look for non-surgical procedures that will get rid of cellulite. The procedure involves applying a mechanical roller against the skin and using a suction device to manipulate the skin tissues and increase circulation. The treatment itself is powerful enough to stimulate the skin and underlying tissues so that the connective tissues can be smoothed out over the muscles which then creates a smoother, sculpted appearance on the skin’s surface.
This effect may be especially valuable for plastic surgery patients who have undergone liposuction, body sculpting or other procedures and have loose or sagging skin as a result of the fat removal. The skin and underlying muscle tissues can be suctioned and smoothed out with the help of the endermologie procedure.
Key Benefits of Endermologie After Plastic Surgery
Endermologie helps to smooth out bumps, lumps and dimples and reduce the appearance of cellulite and fat deposits. It may also offer some skin-tightening benefits as the mechanical rollers stimulate collagen production and help the body’s tissues heal and rebuild themselves. Key benefits of endermologie include:
- Non-invasive and simple procedure
- Painless process
- Can be undertaken as a series of treatments for total body sculpting and reshaping
- Helps the skin appear softer, smoother and more resilient
Drawbacks of Endermologie After Plastic Surgery
While endermologie offers several benefits for those who have cellulite, bumps or uneven skin after plastic surgery, it does have some drawbacks.
First, endermologie does not guarantee long-term results and maintenance treatments are usually required. This can be costly, but may cosmetic surgeons and medical spas offer package pricing for those who may want to sign up for a set maintenance treatments.
Endermologie may also feel uncomfortable for some patients, especially if they are typically sensitive to deep tissue massage. While the mechanical rollers are painless, they do go deep enough into the muscles and skin tissues to stimulate circulation and the suctioning process may feel uncomfortable.
Plastic surgery patients who are in the early stages of recovery should not pursue intensive treatments such as endermologie or even deep tissue massage in some cases, as this can slow down the healing process and may result in pain or inadequate skin tissue repair.
Consult with your plastic or cosmetic surgeon to learn more about how endermologie works and if it may be suitable for you after you have completely recovered from your plastic surgery procedure.
