It is safe to get lymphatic massage soon after surgery. Your doctor will usually clear you for light massage within 3 days after surgery. The benefits of lymphatic massage is known to help improve blood and lymphatic circulation which can dramatically reduce swelling and improve overall recovery time. After surgery, the patient is usually experiencing pain and can not move much. Because we understand these restrictions, we provide lymphatic drainage massage at the comfort of your home so as to facilitate your recovery with ease. We travel to your home with the treatment table and all necessary equipment to provide a hassel-free, relaxing therapeutic massage.

Here is what to expect after booking your first lymphatic massage appointment: 1) Expect a reminder text the day prior to your appointment to confirm the location and time of service. 2) An hour prior to your appointment, your therapist will send a confirmation text letting you know they are in route to your location. Now is a good time to let your therapist know if you have any special instructions (i.e. parking, gate code). 3) Expect your therapist to arrive 5 - 15 minutes prior to your appointment time to set up the treatment table. 4) After the treatment table is set up, your therapist will conduct a consultation of your health concerns. This is a great time to let your therapist know your focus areas for the lymphatic massage (i.e. abdominal region for tummy tucks, legs and thighs for liposuctions, breast and axillary for breast augmentation). 5) After the consultation, your therapist will step aside to the nearest restroom to wash their hands, allowing you privacy to disrobe. Your therapist will instruct you to disrobe to your comfort level and to rest on the treatment table with the sheets comfortably covering your body. 6) After washing their hands, your therapist will return to begin the treatment. 7) During the treatment, your therapist will check in with you periodically to make sure the massage pressure is comfortable. You are also encouraged to let your therapist know if you need the pressure adjusted at anytime during the massage. 8) After the treatment is done, the therapist will return to the restroom to wash their hands. After you are dressed and it is clear for your therapist to return to the treatment area, they will come back to pack up the treatment table.

You will be positioned on the table that is safest, and provides the most support. This varies depending on which surgical procedure you are recovering from. Here is a list of possible positions: Supine (face up): This is the best position when you need to avoid direct pressure on the stomach or breast region. You will be positioned face up on the table with soft pillows under your knees. Placing pillows under the knee will take the pressure off your hip and abdominal region, creating a comfortable resting position. Prone (face down): This is the safest position when you need to avoid direct pressure on the gluteus and back. Side-lying: This is a semi-reclined position, with the body supported by big soft pillows. This position provides the most support for those receiving prenatal massage or recovering from cesarean sections.

The frequency of massage will laregly depend on the amount of edema and swelling you're experiencing in your body. For chronic cases, the urgency of care prompts a recommendation of lymphatic drainage every other day for one week and then once a week for maintenance. For mild cases, we recommend two treatments a week for two weeks.
