After liposuction, a BBL, a tummy tuck, a mommy makeover or breast surgery, fluid can build up while the lymphatic system recovers. Many plastic surgeons recommend manual lymphatic drainage to help with swelling, tightness and comfort during healing.

Follow your surgeon's timing. Many surgeons approve gentle MLD within the first week or two after liposuction or a BBL, and sometimes later after a tummy tuck. Maria asks for your surgeon's written clearance before the first session. ### How many post-op MLD sessions will I need? It depends on your procedure and your surgeon's plan. Many clients book two to three sessions a week for the first few weeks, then taper. Maria suggests a plan at your first visit and adjusts it as your swelling changes. ### Does post-op recovery lymphatic drainage hurt? It shouldn't. MLD uses very light, skin-stretching strokes. Maria works around incisions, drains and tender areas and never presses on healing tissue. Tell her right away if anything feels uncomfortable. ### Should I wear my compression garment to the session? Bring it. You'll remove it for the session and put it back on straight after, unless your surgeon has told you otherwise. ### Can MLD help with lumps or hardness (fibrosis) after lipo? Gentle drainage helps move excess fluid, which is one reason surgeons recommend it during recovery. Hard, lumpy or painful areas should always be checked by your surgeon first. Maria will not use aggressive pressure or devices to 'break up' tissue. ### When should I call my surgeon instead of booking MLD? Call your surgeon right away for fever, spreading redness, pus or a foul-smelling wound, sudden one-sided leg swelling or calf pain, shortness of breath, or a wound opening. These are medical issues, not massage issues. ### Is hot stone included with post-op sessions? No. Complimentary hot stone comes with our massage sessions, but heat isn't used on healing tissue because it can increase swelling. ### Do you treat clients after breast surgery or a facelift? Yes, with your surgeon's clearance. MLD is commonly requested after breast augmentation or reduction and facial procedures. For facial work, see the facial lymphatic drainage page.
