Post-Surgical Lymphatic Massage & Recovery in Clemson, SC

Recovering from surgery is challenging. Tightness, swelling, and discomfort can slow your healing. At Soft-Tissue Solutions in Clemson, SC, 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. 

Free Consultation

Why Post-Op Lymphatic Massage Matters

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-surgical certified lymphatic massage encourages fluid movement, reduces inflammation and helps prevent fibrosis.

This service is not Body Contouring or Incisional Drainage.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Your treatment starts with boosting full body lymphatic flow through an abdominal and neck massage.
  • Gentle massage strokes are used in the swollen area to encourage lymphatic flow and reduce swelling. 
  • Strokes reroute lymphatic flow away from lymph nodes and vessels affected by the surgery. 
  • No lotion or oil is used. The therapist's hands give a light pressure in the direction of lymphatic flow. 
  • The goal is to improve lymphatic function in the body thereby supporting recovery. 


Most clients begin within 1-2 weeks after surgery (with surgeon approval.)


No, Certified Vodder MLD is gentle, yet at reducing discomfort and swelling. 


This depends upon your situation. 


  • I have Vodder MLD Certification from both Klose Training and ACOLS.   https://www.acols.com/courses/manual-lymph-drainage-certification.php  https://klosetraining.com/mld/


  • I completed Kathleen Lisson's Post-Op Courses for Licensed Massage Therapists. https://plasticsurgeryrecoverymassage.teachable.com/


  • I am currently studying to become a Certified Lymphedema Therapist with Klose. https://klosetraining.com/course/in-classroom/lymphedema-certification/



If you are unsure let's connect by phone, zoom or in-person so I can answer your questions. If I don't know, I will tell you. 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.
