Why Do 84% of Facial Surgery Patients Experience Prolonged Swelling?

During facial cosmetic procedures, two critical things happen that significantly impact your recovery

1 – Your Lymphatic Vessels Get Disrupted

We recognize that your symptoms don't exist in isolation:
  • Personalized assessment of your specific challenges and goals
  • Recognition of connections between different symptoms
  • Consideration of lifestyle factors that influence your results
  • Practical recommendations to extend benefits between sessions

Surgical incisions sever delicate facial lymphatic vessels, breaking the natural drainage pathways in your face and neck.

2 – Significant Inflammation Occurs

We recognize that your symptoms don't exist in isolation:
  • Personalized assessment of your specific challenges and goals
  • Recognition of connections between different symptoms
  • Consideration of lifestyle factors that influence your results
  • Practical recommendations to extend benefits between sessions

Your body's natural healing response creates swelling that obscures your results and causes discomfort.

You've Tried Everything... 
But You're Still in Pain

If you're experiencing any of these frustrations, you're in the right place:
🏃‍♂️💥🩹

You've been to multiple practitioners but only get temporary relief

🏃‍♂️💥🩹

Your pain returns despite following all medical recommendations

🏃‍♂️💥🩹

You've been told to "just live with it" or rely on medication long-term

🏃‍♂️💥🩹

Other treatments handle your body like "one-size-fits-all"

🏃‍♂️💥🩹

You feel stuck in a cycle of recurring pain that limits your life

"I take pictures of myself every time... And you could see the difference. Every time I left there, I felt lighter. I felt like not bloated... I just, I felt great after I left."

Common Questions

Is post-operative lymphatic drainage painful?

No. Our technique uses extremely gentle pressure—similar to the weight of a nickel—specifically designed for healing tissues. Most clients find the treatment comfortable and relaxing, even in the early stages of recovery.

The gentle approach is precisely what makes it effective for post-surgical care.

How many sessions will I need?

Most surgical recoveries benefit from a series of 6-12 treatments, with the exact number depending on your specific procedure, how your body responds, and your recovery goals.

After your initial assessment, we'll recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Do I need my surgeon's approval before treatment?

Yes, we recommend confirming with your surgeon that manual lymphatic drainage is appropriate for your specific recovery.

Many surgeons actually prescribe or recommend our services as part of their post-operative protocols. We're happy to communicate directly with your surgical team to ensure coordinated care.

How is this different from the massage I'd get at a spa?

Post-operative manual lymphatic drainage is a highly specialized technique that requires specific training in surgical recovery.

The pressure is much lighter than regular massage, and the methodology focuses on lymphatic pathways rather than muscles. Regular massage therapists without post-op training may actually harm surgical results by using improper techniques or pressure.

Will I still need to wear my compression garment?

Yes, manual lymphatic drainage complements compression rather than replacing it.

We'll work with your surgeon's recommendations regarding compression garments, often recommending you wear them to your appointment and put them back on immediately after treatment.

Can this help if I'm weeks or months post-surgery and still having issues?

Yes, manual lymphatic drainage can be beneficial even months after surgery, especially if you're experiencing prolonged swelling, hardened areas, or uneven results.

While starting early in recovery is ideal, we successfully treat many clients who come to us later in their healing process.

Ready to transform your recovery experience?

We typically book 2-3 weeks in advance. If you are in early post-operative recovery and need more immediate care, please mention this when contacting us, as we reserve space for urgent post-surgical clients.

Our practitioners combine specialized training with years of hands-on experience to help you overcome pain, inflammation, and mobility challenges that conventional approaches haven't resolved.
