What Doctors Say About Lymphatic Drainage Massage After Plastic Surgery
Lymphatic Drainage Massage in Temecula
If you’ve recently had surgery, you already know recovery can be the hardest part. Swelling, bruising, tightness — they’re all part of the healing process, but that doesn’t mean you have to just wait it out. More and more surgeons are recommending manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) as a safe, effective way to help your body recover faster and feel more comfortable.
What Surgeons Are Saying
Doctors across the country agree that lymphatic drainage massage after surgery plays a vital role in recovery.
“These massages help reduce bruising and inflammation following surgery… The patient’s skin tissues heal much faster, shortening their recovery.”
— Dr. Paul C. Dillon, Plastic Surgeon (paulcdillonmd.com)
“Lymphatic drainage massage reduces swelling, enhances blood circulation, reduces discomfort, and expedites healing by removing fluid and toxins.”
— Plastic Surgery Brisbane Clinic (plastic-surgery-brisbane.com.au)
“The recommended type of massage is called a lymphatic massage or drainage massage … it can stimulate the lymphatic system and help patients not only heal faster but with less swelling and discomfort.”
— Avance Plastic Surgery (avanceplasticsurgery.com)
“Because it supports the function of the lymphatic system, lymphatic massage has a wide range of benefits… minimizes bruising, swelling, and inflammation, and helps with tissue repair.”
— Dr. Boll, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon (drboll.com)
“Plastic surgeons agree that adding a series of lymphatic massages to a patient’s post-op care routines can benefit their recovery. It can help reduce swelling and improve aesthetic results by decreasing congestion of the tissue.”
— The AEDITION (aedit.com)
Each of these medical professionals says the same thing in their own way: lymphatic drainage massage after surgery isn’t optional self-care — it’s recovery care.
What I’ve Seen Firsthand
Hi, I’m Monica Skalsky, CMT (CAMTC #33056), owner of Wrthit and a certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapist with over 30 years in massage therapy. I’ve taught at both the National Holistic Institute and American Career College, and for the past several years I’ve dedicated my practice to helping post-surgical clients recover with confidence.
Every week, I meet patients who tell me their surgeon recommended Wrthit because they wanted someone who understood how to handle healing tissue — not just “do a massage.” The transformation never gets old. Within a few sessions, swelling softens, comfort returns, and they can finally start to see and feel the results they worked so hard for.
If you look us up on Google, you’ll see dozens of five-star reviews from real clients who mention how much better they felt after their lymphatic sessions — and how much smoother their recovery became once they added MLD to their healing plan.
