THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO INCISIONAL DRAINING DONE HERE FOR COSMETIC SURGERIES, AND YOU DO NOT NEED TO ENDURE IT!

Research supports the use of gentle clinical techniques, such as Vodder-based Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), to help support the healing process. Sessions should be gentle, slow, and follow the body's natural lymphatic drainage pathways.

This approach helps support your body's natural healing process, tissue and lymphatic vessel repair, reduce swelling, and promote recovery.

Gentle MLD has been studied since 1936 and continues to demonstrate benefits in appropriate clinical settings.

There are no studies supporting the painful and risky practice of reopening incisions or forcing fluid out through surgical wounds. The only drains you need are the ones your surgeon placed.

You should never allow a massage therapist to reopen your surgical incisions. Doing so can put you at increased risk for infection, fibrosis, seromas, and other complications.

Post -surgical/post-operative recovery Clinical Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a specialized therapeutic technique aimed at promoting recovery after surgical procedures and prep before your surgery. These sessions are pain free!!!

Pro Tips for a successful post-op experience :

• Book your MLD sessions before you have your procedure. Finding a trained provider at the last minute can be a challenge. (I offer a waitlist option if you need a last minute squeeze in). If you decide on pre-op session we can schedule your post-operative sessions for you while you are here. For your convivence you can schedule your first two weeks of appointments 6months in advance.

Give Yourself a Head Start on Recovery

We believe recovery begins before you enter the operating room. This is why we offer Pre-Operative sessions.

During your pre-operative visit:

• You receive a 60min Manual Lymphatic Drainage session.

• Review your surgery details, recovery plan, and answer your questions.

• Typically just one session is needed and is done two weeks prior to your surgery.

  Supporting your lymphatic system before surgery creates the foundation for a smoother, more comfortable healing experience by helping to prepare your body for the increased demands of healing

How many sessions will I need after surgery and how soon can I start?

Most post-operative clients can begin treatment 72 hours after surgery. For inpatient procedures or when additional precautions are needed, we follow your surgeon's recommended timeline and recovery protocol.

• 72 hours after surgery Begin Manual Lymphatic Drainage (with your surgeon's approval on most cosmetic surgeries)

• Weeks 1–4 Typically 2 sessions per week

• Weeks 5–8 Typically 1 session per week

• Weeks 9-12 Typically 1 session every other week, often scar tissue will begin work if needed on incisions
