Post Op Lymphatic Massage
What is Post Op or Post Surgical Lymphatic Massage?
Post-op lymphatic massage is a specialized technique designed to aid recovery after surgical procedures by stimulating the lymphatic system. This gentle, therapeutic approach helps reduce swelling, prevent fibrosis, and accelerate healing by encouraging the natural flow of lymphatic fluid. It is especially beneficial for patients recovering from procedures such as liposuction, tummy tucks, BBLs, facelifts, and other plastic surgery.
Unlike traditional massage, post-op lymphatic massage focuses on supporting your body’s healing process without causing discomfort or disrupting surgical areas. By addressing swelling and fluid retention, this treatment helps you achieve optimal results from your procedure while promoting overall wellness.
​
Post-op massage also includes other techniques to address scar tissue, fibrosis, texture and other complications that might arise after plastic surgery. We also love to educate our clients on self massage, compression and other post surgical needs.
