Liposuction hard spots are common during recovery and often result from uneven healing or trapped fluid. Many patients ask: Can massage really help? The answer is yes—manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and gentle massage can improve circulation, reduce swelling, and soften these areas over time. Consistent, professional massage therapy supports smoother results and faster healing. However, always consult your surgeon before starting any massage regimen to ensure it’s safe for your specific case and stage of recovery.
