Ultrasound Therapy After Surgery and Liposuction | UMA Clinic Seattle
What Is Ultrasound Therapy and Why It Matters After Surgery
At UMA Clinic in Seattle, we specialize in post-operative ultrasound therapy to support faster, safer, and more effective healing. Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves at specific frequencies to penetrate deep into tissues, improving circulation, breaking down hardened areas, and stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms. After any surgical procedure—whether liposuction, BBL, tummy tuck, or reconstructive surgery—the body can form adhesions, experience inflammation, or accumulate excess fluid.
This is where ultrasound therapy becomes essential.
How Does Ultrasound Therapy After Surgery Work?
Ultrasound therapy emits high-frequency sound waves that create gentle vibrations in your tissues. These vibrations:
- Stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation
- Help break down fibrotic tissue and internal scarring
- Improve oxygen and nutrient delivery to the area
- Accelerate waste elimination
- Soften tight or hardened tissue
Promote collagen production and smoother skin texture
These mechanisms are especially beneficial after surgery when the body is in a vulnerable state and needs strategic support to heal efficiently.
Why Ultrasound Therapy Is Necessary After Surgery
During procedures like liposuction, BBL, or tummy tucks, the lymphatic system, blood vessels, and surrounding tissues are often disrupted. Without proper care, patients may experience:
- Persistent swelling and edema.
- Pain or pressure in the area.
- Formation of seromas or fibrosis.
- Uneven skin texture or lumpiness.
- Delayed skin retraction.
Ultrasound therapy addresses these issues directly, improving the outcome of your surgery while significantly reducing discomfort and healing time.
When Should You Begin Ultrasound Therapy?
Ultrasound therapy is typically initiated between 3 to 7 days post OP, depending on your surgeon’s approval. Starting within the recommended window reduces the risk of fibrosis and helps the skin adhere properly to the underlying tissues.
Each patient receives a customized plan. On average, ultrasound therapy is scheduled weekly or bi-weekly for optimal results. At Uma Clinic as part of your recovery plan we combine ultrasound therapy with electro therapy for pain management and nerve tissue regeneration, along with Post-Op lymphatic drainage.
