FAQs
Q1: What does a post-op lymphatic drainage massage do?
A1: After cosmetic surgery, your body can hold on to excess fluid that causes swelling, discomfort, and a longer healing time. Lymphatic drainage massage gently moves this fluid out of the tissues, reduces swelling, prevents scar tissue buildup, and helps you feel better faster. It’s completely different from a spa massage — it’s a specialized recovery treatment designed for surgery patients.
Q2: Is lymphatic drainage massage painful after surgery?
A2: No. Post-op lymphatic massage is very gentle and should never cause pain. Most clients describe it as soothing and calming, and many feel relief right away. Our licensed therapists are trained to work with your healing body so you feel safe, comfortable, and supported during every session.
Q3: When should I book my lymphatic drainage massage therapy?
A3: The best time to book your post-op lymphatic massage is before your surgery. Many surgeons recommend starting within the first few days of recovery, and appointment spots can fill quickly. By scheduling ahead of time, you’ll guarantee your sessions are reserved, giving you one less thing to worry about after surgery and helping you stay on track for the best healing results.

In a controlled clinical trial, 20 women were split into two groups after surgery. Both wore compression garments, but one group also received MLD twice weekly for three weeks (6 sessions total), starting six weeks post-op.
Treatment group: Mean reduction of edema was 9.8 cm between weeks 6 and 8
Control group: Mean reduction was 6.6 cm in the same period
Statistical significance: Although the difference (9.8 cm vs 6.6 cm) did not reach statistical significance (P = .11), it suggests a ~3.2 cm greater reduction for those receiving MLD (source)
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) has been shown to reduce post-op swelling and fibrosis after cosmetic surgery. A 2023 review published in the American Massage Therapy Journal highlights MLD’s ability to improve lymph flow, reroute fluid, and support recovery through gentle, rhythmic strokes (source).
