Post Surgical Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Healing after surgery is about more than rest—it’s about supporting your body as it recovers, restores balance, and moves fluid efficiently. Post-surgical Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialized technique designed to reduce swelling, promote healing, and help you feel more comfortable as your body recovers.
This work is slow, precise, and intentional, supporting the lymphatic system when it needs it most.

What Is Post-Surgical Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a light-touch technique that encourages the movement of lymphatic fluid through the body. After surgery, the lymphatic system can become overwhelmed, leading to swelling, inflammation, fluid retention, and discomfort.
Post-surgical MLD helps guide excess fluid away from affected areas, supporting the body’s natural healing processes without deep pressure or aggressive manipulation.
Benefits of Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage
Regular post-surgical MLD sessions help:
Reduce swelling and fluid retention
Minimize bruising and inflammation
Support faster, more comfortable healing
Improve circulation and tissue health
Decrease feelings of tightness or pressure
Reduce the risk of fibrosis or hardened tissue
Promote overall comfort and relaxation

Who Is Post-Surgical MLD Good For?
Post-surgical lymphatic drainage is commonly recommended for individuals recovering from:
Cosmetic surgeries (liposuction, tummy tuck, breast surgery, facelift, BBL)
Orthopedic procedures
Abdominal or pelvic surgeries
C-sections
Any surgery involving swelling, bruising, or fluid retention
MLD is appropriate at various stages of recovery and is often used alongside your surgeon’s aftercare recommendations.
What to Expect During Your Session
Post-surgical Manual Lymphatic Drainage is very different from a traditional massage. The technique uses light, rhythmic touch along the surface of the skin to gently guide lymphatic fluid toward the body’s natural drainage pathways.
Rather than working deep into the muscles, your practitioner focuses on precise, intentional movements that support lymph flow without stressing healing tissues. Pressure is always gentle and adjusted to your comfort and stage of recovery.
Enhance your results with LED Light Therapy
LED Light Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses red light to support the body’s natural healing process. The light works at a cellular level to increase circulation, calm inflammation, and encourage tissue repair—making it especially beneficial after surgery.
When added to post-surgical Manual Lymphatic Drainage, LED Light Therapy can help reduce swelling and bruising, improve lymphatic flow, ease discomfort, and support faster, more comfortable healing. The light is placed over areas of swelling, near incision sites, or where scar tissue may form, allowing the body to heal while you rest.
