What is Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage?

Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, specialized manual therapy that stimulates the lymphatic system to:
  • Reduce post-surgical swelling and edema
  • Improve circulation to accelerate tissue healing
  • Flush toxins and metabolic waste from the body
  • Relieve discomfort and soreness
  • Minimize the formation of scar tissue and fibrosis
  • Support immune function and overall recovery
Unlike traditional massage, post-op lymphatic drainage is delicate and precise, following protocols specific to the type of surgery you’ve had. Every movement is performed with intention and care to ensure that recovery is safe, effective, and comfortable.

When Can Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage Begin?

Treatment can typically begin 24 hours after surgery, but always under the guidance of your physician. Early intervention is essential because untreated edema and inflammation can lead to complications, slow healing, and compromise surgical results.
We always coordinate with your healthcare team to ensure that each session is appropriate for your stage of recovery and aligns with your surgeon’s recommendations.

What You Can Expect During a Session

During your post-op lymphatic drainage session, you will experience:
  • Gentle, rhythmic massage specifically adapted to your procedure and body needs
  • Reduction in swelling and bruising, making movement and daily activities more comfortable
  • Relief from tension and discomfort in surgical or adjacent areas
  • Support for your immune system and natural detoxification, helping your body heal efficiently
  • A calming and restorative environment to reduce stress and promote emotional well-being
Each session is personalized, ensuring your treatment supports your body’s healing process, restores balance, and helps you feel lighter and more comfortable.

Why Post-Op Care Matters

Your journey to radiant confidence

Tatiana is a magician! I’ve had 8 lymphatic drainage massages post surgery from 3 different therapists and she was the best by far. In addition to doing incredible massage work she also has some very cool technology at her disposal (radio frequency and shock wave machine, infrared light therapy) etc and explained everything she was doing along the way. She also has an absolutely beautiful studio. Tatiana is a lovely person as well and followed up with a bunch of helpful links for follow up stretching exercises and compression gear. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars !

I went to Tatiana for lymphatic drainage after my liposuction procedure. Believe me when I tell you, she is the kindest, most professional aesthetic specialist I have even experienced. All of her techniques are science based; and she always takes the time to explain the "why" behind what she does. During the sessions, Tatiana always prioritizes my comfort, which is so critical during a time your body is healing. She is incredibly detailed oriented, and always strives to help me achieve the best results possible. I have seen such a sizable improvement in my stomach smoothness and swelling.
-Charlotte M
I can’t recommend Tatiana enough! She is so skilled and knowledgeable and it's clear that she cares so much about her clients. I always look forward to my sessions. I started getting weekly massages from Tatiana a month ago because I had a ton of swelling and fibrosis. It's now almost 100% better and I'm so happy with the results. If you're thinking about lymphatic drainage massage she is the person to see!

Tatiana has been so helpful in my recovery from multiple surgeries but also helping me manage medical conditions. She is well informed on medical conditions and uses various treatment modalities. I was so uncomfortable post surgery that she went out of her way to give me extra time and sessions that helped reduce my pain. Not only do I feel better, I also look better after the treatments.
-Mannie C
Tatiana is magic. I saw her post-op and my recovery and results were amazing thanks to her skilled hands managing the recovery. She is so great I’m still seeing her 2 years later!
-Connie C
Tatiana has helped me through some challenging times and I honestly do not think I could be in as good a shape as I am without her. Very talented, knowledgeable, empathetic and intelligent. Tatiana is a wonderful help to anyone who wants or needs post-op healing. I recommend her wholeheartedly.
-Michele H
Tatiana healed and supported me not only through expert and cutting edge lymphatic drainage techniques, but also by supplying me with the best compression garments, far better than what my surgeon’s office supplied me with. The compression garments and special pads she gave me actually resolved a seroma that had resulted post surgery without requiring further invasive treatment, and throughout the process she offered both professional and emotional support which I really depended on during that difficult time.
