Promote fluid drainage and support recovery

Post-op/lymphatic massage is a specialized treatment that supports your recovery after surgery. This massage helps reduce swelling, prevent fibrosis, minimize discomfort, and promote proper fluid drainage by using gentle, precise techniques. If you’re healing from procedures like liposuction, tummy tucks, or Brazilian Butt Lifts, this therapy can accelerate your progress, improve circulation, and enhance your results. At Belleza Colombiana, we customize each session to address your specific needs, ensuring you experience relief, faster recovery, and smoother contours as you heal.

Post-op/lymphatic massage can help with…

  • Swelling and fluid retention
  • Fibrosis and uneven results
  • Pain and discomfort
  • Bruising and inflammation
  • Seroma or hematoma formation
  • Scarring and skin irregularities
  • Skin tone and texture changes

How does post-op/lymphatic massage help with recovery?

Post-op/lymphatic massage works by stimulating the lymphatic system, a vital part of your immune system responsible for removing excess fluids, toxins, and waste from your body. After surgery, your lymphatic system can become sluggish due to trauma and inflammation, leading to swelling, fluid buildup, and discomfort. Gentle, rhythmic strokes applied during a lymphatic massage encourage lymph flow, reducing swelling, improving circulation, and preventing complications like fibrosis or seroma formation.

This process also accelerates the removal of cellular debris, promoting faster tissue healing and reducing scarring. Additionally, post-op/lymphatic massage aids in reactivating blood flow to the affected areas, delivering oxygen and nutrients essential for recovery. By addressing common post-operative issues such as inflammation, uneven skin, and pain, this therapy optimizes your results while making your healing experience smoother and more comfortable.

Benefits of post-op/lymphatic massage:

  • Reduces swelling and fluid retention
  • Prevents fibrosis and uneven tissue healing
  • Minimizes discomfort and post-surgical pain
  • Promotes faster healing and recovery
  • Enhances circulation and lymphatic drainage
  • Decreases the risk of seroma or hematoma
  • Improves skin tone, texture, and elasticity
  • Supports smoother, more even surgical results

Post-op/lymphatic massage FAQs

What is the lymphatic system, and why is it important for recovery?

The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, nodes, and tissues that helps remove waste, toxins, and excess fluids from the body. After surgery, the system can become overloaded due to inflammation and trauma, leading to swelling and discomfort. Post-op massage stimulates the lymphatic system and helps drain these fluids, promoting faster recovery.

What is the difference between a regular massage and post-op/lymphatic massage?

Unlike regular massages, which focus on relaxation or muscle tension, post-op/lymphatic massage is a specialized technique for supporting surgical recovery. It uses gentle, rhythmic movements to stimulate lymphatic flow, reduce swelling, and promote healing without putting pressure on sensitive or healing tissues, thus supporting optimal recovery after surgery.

How soon after surgery can I start post-op/lymphatic massage?

Depending on your surgeon’s recommendations, you can typically begin post-op/lymphatic massage 3-7 days after surgery. Starting early helps effectively address swelling and fluid buildup while avoiding complications.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on your surgery type and individual healing process. Most clients benefit from 5-10 sessions of post-op/lymphatic massage, but your therapist will tailor a plan based on your recovery needs to ensure optimal results.

Is post-op/lymphatic massage painful?

No, post-op/lymphatic massage should not be painful. It uses light, gentle pressure to avoid irritating healing tissues. If you feel discomfort during a session, inform your therapist so adjustments can be made.

Does post-op/lymphatic massage help with fibrosis?

Yes, one of its key benefits is preventing and treating fibrosis. By breaking up hardened tissue and improving circulation, this massage technique can reduce the appearance of fibrotic areas and help restore smooth, even contours.

Can I combine post-op/lymphatic massage with other treatments?

Yes, post-op/lymphatic massage can often be combined with other therapies, like ultrasound therapy or red light therapy, to enhance your recovery. At Belleza Colombiana, we create personalized recovery plans that may incorporate multiple advanced treatments.

What areas of the body are treated during a session?

The areas treated depend on your surgery and specific needs. Depending on the procedure, common areas treated include the abdomen, arms, thighs, back, and face. Your therapist will focus on the regions affected by your surgery to enhance recovery and results.
