Best suited for those recovering from surgery who are experiencing swelling, fluid retention, or tightness, as well as anyone seeking a gentle, non-invasive way to support circulation.
Your provider reviews your surgical history, current symptoms, and recovery timeline to determine whether this massage is a good fit and how to plan your sessions.
You relax on a treatment table while a trained provider applies light, rhythmic pressure to targeted areas with gentle, guided hand movements.
Most clients return to normal activities right away, with many noticing reduced swelling within a week or two, often following a short series of sessions.
You receive a gentle massage session with no downtime and can typically resume normal activities right away.
Some clients notice a slight reduction in tightness or heaviness in the treated area shortly after a session.
With a series of sessions, swelling often continues to ease gradually as fluid clears from the tissues.
Most clients see their swelling settle significantly, supporting a smoother, more complete surgical recovery.
Helpful for those managing swelling after procedures such as liposuction, tummy tucks, or other body contouring surgery.
A thoughtful option for those experiencing persistent puffiness or tightness in treated areas.
Suited to those seeking a gentle, non-invasive way to feel more at ease during healing.
No, it involves very light, gentle pressure, and most clients find it relaxing rather than uncomfortable. It is much softer than a deep tissue massage.
Timing depends on your specific procedure and healing progress, so your provider will advise on when it is safe to begin during your consultation.
Many clients benefit from a short series of sessions, often three to six, though your provider will tailor a schedule to your swelling and recovery goals.
Generally none. Most clients resume normal daily activities immediately after a session.
Compression garments and lymphatic drainage massage are often used together, since garments provide continuous gentle pressure while massage actively encourages fluid movement.
Side effects are typically minimal and may include mild, temporary redness or tenderness. A consultation helps confirm whether this treatment is appropriate for your health history.
