Recovering from surgery is challenging. Tightness, swelling, and discomfort can slow your healing. I provide gentle post-op lymphatic massage using Certified Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) to help reduce swelling, ease discomfort, support safe recovery, and help prevent fibrosis.
After procedures such as liposuction, breast surgery, tummy tucks or facelifts, your lymphatic system can become overloaded. This often leads to swelling, bruising and restricted healing. In some cases fibrosis, a hardened scar tissue that causes lumps or tightness develops. Post-op encourages fluid movement, reduces inflammation and helps prevent fibrosis.
I provide post-op lymphatic massage for clients recovering from:
Treatments are adapted to your needs and healing stage.
Most clients begin within 48-72 hours after surgery (with surgeon approval.)
No, Certified Vodder MLD is gentle, yet effective at reducing discomfort and swelling.
It will depend on your surgery and your goals. Many clients receive 1-2 massages per week for 6 weeks.
If you are unsure let's connect by phone, zoom or in-person so I can answer your questions. With the rise of insufficiently trained therapists offering "MLD" it is important to do your research to ensure that the person placing his or her hands on your body knows how to do so safely.
