No. It’s actually quite dangerous to do so. Not only is the needle re-opening the incision which prolongs the healing process, but flushing fluid with a needle actually creates an open pocket for more fluid to go. Basically, this method creates an open space where fluid now has a perfect place to go.
Draining the fluid manually with massage not only flushes the fluid without having to re-open incisions, but it also manipulates the soft tissue to close the fluid pockets.
