Post Operative Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Professional Support for Your Cosmetic Surgery Recovery
Bridging your healing from your surgeon’s hands to mine. – Michele Lent
You’ve taken a big step — investing in your body and in yourself.
Now it’s time to support that transformation with the care it needs to heal properly, reduce complications, and help you feel like you again.
I specialize in Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage (MLD) for post-surgical clients, especially those recovering from cosmetic and plastic surgery. This gentle, medically informed therapy supports your body through every stage of healing — with skill, safety, and compassion.
Why MLD Is So Important After Cosmetic Surgery
After surgery, your lymphatic system is working overtime. The body naturally responds to surgical trauma with swelling, fluid retention, bruising, and inflammation. If left unmanaged, this can slow your recovery, cause pain, and even affect the final results of your procedure.
Whether you’ve had liposuction, tummy tuck, BBL, breast augmentation, or facelift —
MLD supports your recovery at every step.
Reduces Swelling
💧 Moves excess fluid and supports lymphatic flow
Boosts Immunity
🧬 Helps prevent infection and speeds healing
Enhanced Aesthetic
✨ Smooths tissue, supports shaping, reduces fibrosis
Relieve Discomfort
🙏 Alleviates tightness, heaviness, and tenderness
Healing Takes Time – But You Don't Have to Do It Alone
Healing is a process — one that lasts 3 to 6 months after cosmetic surgery.
Regular MLD during the first 12–13 weeks can significantly improve your results, reduce complications, and make recovery easier and more comfortable.
Early Stage (Days 4–14)
If drains are still present, I gently guide excess fluid toward the drains, preventing fluid buildup and hardening. Includes red light therapy to reduce inflammation and support cellular healing.
Sub-Acute Stage (Weeks 2–4)
Swelling is common here. I focus on flushing stagnant fluid, reducing tightness and tenderness, and supporting circulation. Red light therapy continues to promote tissue repair.
Mid-Healing Stage (Weeks 4–8)
This is when I introduce techniques like reverse pressure to soften fibrotic tissue and improve shape and symmetry.
Long-Term Support (Weeks 9–13+)
As your body settles into its new shape, we maintain lymph flow, reduce lingering puffiness, and promote detox.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When should I start MLD postoperative massage care? Answer: You can usually begin as soon as 4–10 days post-op, with your surgeon’s clearance.
