Get answers to common questions about POST LIPOSUCTION.

Most clients begin gentle post-liposuction manual lymphatic drainage after surgeon approval, typically 48–72 hours post-op. Timing depends on incision healing, drains, and your surgeon's guidance. Our therapists coordinate with your care plan to provide safe, progressive treatment tailored to recovery.

Treatment plans vary, but many clients schedule 4–10 sessions over several weeks. Frequency depends on swelling severity, surgical extent, and healing progress. Your therapist will assess tissue response and recommend a custom schedule to maximize drainage, minimize fibrosis, and optimize contour outcomes.

Generally the technique is gentle and should not cause significant pain. Therapists use light, rhythmic strokes focused on lymph flow; you may feel mild pressure or tenderness. Communicate discomfort immediately—treatments are modified to ensure safety and comfort throughout recovery.

Yes—compression garments are often recommended between and during sessions to support tissue positioning and reduce swelling. Your surgeon will advise timing and fit. Therapists work around garments as instructed, coordinating care to maintain pressure while allowing targeted manual drainage and contouring.

When performed by a trained therapist and approved by your surgeon, risks are minimal. Temporary soreness, increased bruising, or lightheadedness can occur. Avoid treatment with active infection, open wounds, or uncontrolled clotting issues. We screen medical history and follow surgical guidance rigorously.

Many clients notice reduced swelling and improved comfort after the first one or two sessions. Visible contour refinement often appears gradually over weeks as fluid clears and tissues soften. Continued sessions and adherence to surgeon instructions enhance long-term aesthetic outcomes and symmetry.
