How It Works
Post-operative lymphatic drainage is a supportive service offered only after surgeon clearance. It does not replace surgical follow-up, wound care, or urgent evaluation when symptoms change.
Post-surgical drainage differs from a general wellness massage. We review the procedure, incision locations, contraindications, and written instructions before beginning, then stay within massage scope and refer clinical concerns back to the surgical team.
Your procedure and surgeon determine timing, frequency, pressure, and contraindications. We coordinate around those instructions and make no universal promise about swelling, fibrosis, healing speed, or the final surgical result.

When can I start post-op lymphatic drainage after surgery?
Your surgeon sets the start date based on the procedure, drains, incisions, complications, and healing. We require clearance before the first session and follow the written instructions from your surgical team.
How many sessions will I need after my surgery?
There is no universal series. Your surgeon's instructions, procedure, healing response, and tolerance determine whether another session is appropriate. We review the plan as recovery changes.
Why do surgeons recommend lymphatic drainage after cosmetic surgery?
Some surgeons include gentle lymphatic work in a procedure-specific recovery plan. We follow those instructions for comfort-focused supportive care and do not claim to move a measured amount of fluid. It does not replace surgical follow-up, wound care, or evaluation of a complication.
Can lymphatic drainage prevent fibrosis?
We do not promise to prevent or treat fibrosis. Firmness, lumps, increasing pain, redness, drainage, fever, or other unexpected changes should be reviewed by your surgeon, who decides whether massage is appropriate.
Can I combine this with other recovery treatments?
Only with your surgeon's approval. Compression, light-based services, and other recovery products have separate indications and risks; none is automatically added to a post-operative plan.
Will my surgeon need to provide instructions or clearance?
Yes. We require surgeon clearance before the first session and follow written instructions from the surgical office or discharge paperwork. We can coordinate with the team when needed.
