What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, hands-on massage technique designed to stimulate the body’s lymphatic system. Using light, rhythmic movements, MLD encourages the natural flow of lymph fluid, which helps reduce swelling, remove toxins, improve circulation, and support the immune system. Commonly recommended after cosmetic or medical surgery, MLD can speed up recovery, minimize scar tissue, and provide relief from discomfort. Because it works with the body’s natural healing process, this therapy is both safe and deeply restorative.

Benefits of Lymphatic drainage massage:

Reduce swelling and inflammation after cosmetic surgery
Support the body’s natural healing process
Improve circulation and immune function

Lymphatic Massage Services - FAQ

When should I start lymphatic drainage after surgery?
Most surgeons recommend beginning within the first week after your procedure (with medical clearance). Starting early helps reduce swelling and discomfort, speeds recovery, and lowers the risk of complications such as fibrosis. At Wrthit, we typically recommend 10–12 sessions for optimal results, though every plan is customized based on your body and your surgeon’s guidance.

What should I expect during a session?
Healing should feel comfortable, never stressful—which is why we bring care directly to you. Each in-home session lasts 45–60 minutes and includes gentle, rhythmic techniques designed for post-surgery recovery. Every treatment is personalized to your stage of healing, your comfort level, and your surgeon’s recommendations. All Wrthit therapists are licensed, insured, and trained in post-operative lymphatic care.

Do you offer packages for recovery?
Yes. Because surgery recovery is a journey, not a one-time event, we offer session packages to support consistency and progress. Many clients choose a 10-session package for their best recovery outcomes.

Why choose Wrthit?
With over 30 years of massage therapy experience and 5+ years specializing in post-operative lymphatic care, Wrthit is trusted by both clients and surgeons across Southern California. We’re committed to supporting not just your body, but your overall healing journey—because you are more than a client. You are Wrthit.

How many lymphatic drainage sessions will I need?
Most clients see the best results with 10–12 sessions, depending on the type of surgery and individual recovery needs. Packages are available to make ongoing care simple and affordable.

Does lymphatic drainage massage hurt?
No. Lymphatic drainage is a gentle technique designed to reduce swelling, ease discomfort, and help your body heal naturally. Sessions should never feel painful.

Do you work with surgeons?
Yes. Many surgeons refer their patients directly to Wrthit for professional, trusted post-op lymphatic care. We’re also happy to coordinate with your provider to ensure you receive the best possible support during your recovery.
