What are POST-OPERATIVE MASSAGES?

Post-operative massages are soft, targeted treatments used after cosmetic procedures. These include liposuction, tummy tucks, facelifts, and more. One of the most common types is manual lymphatic drainage (MLD). It uses light pressure to move excess fluid and reduce inflammation.

Benefits of Post-Operative Massages:

Less Swelling – Helps your body flush out retained fluids.
Lower Risk of Seromas – Reduces chances of fluid buildup or hard tissue.
Faster Recovery – Allows you to feel better and return to normal activities sooner.
Better Skin Texture – Improves the feel and look of your skin.
Stronger Results – Helps contour and shape the treated area more effectively.

Who is a Good CANDIDATE?

These massages are ideal for people healing after surgery. Good candidates include those who:

✔ Have recently had plastic surgery and want a smooth recovery.
✔ Feel swelling, tightness, or fluid under the skin.
✔ Want to avoid side effects like fibrosis or long-term puffiness.
✔ Are ready to follow all their post-op care instructions.
✔ Have approval from their plastic surgeon.

Massages usually start a few days after surgery. A full treatment plan may last several weeks, depending on your body and procedure.
