Post Op Massage
Post-operative massage supports recovery after surgery by reducing swelling and encouraging smoother, more even healing.
Support Recovery
After surgery, the body goes through a structured healing process. Swelling, fluid retention, and tissue tightness are all part of it, but how they're managed can affect the final result. Post-operative massage supports recovery by improving circulation and encouraging proper lymphatic drainage, helping the body process inflammation more efficiently so treated areas settle more smoothly.
Common Concerns
Common concerns include:
Persistent swelling or fluid retention
Firmness or tightness in treated areas
Uneven contour during early healing
Slower-than-expected recovery
Wanting to support the best possible final result

Recovery
Sessions are timed to your surgical recovery. Early sessions are gentle and focus on initiating lymphatic movement, with pressure and frequency increasing as healing progresses over the following weeks.
- First few days Sessions are gentle, focusing on initiating lymphatic movement without stressing the tissue.
- About one week Swelling begins to reduce more efficiently as circulation improves.
- Two to three weeks Tissue begins to soften, and contour becomes more even as fluid retention decreases.
- Four to six weeks Results continue to refine, supporting a smoother and more balanced final outcome.
What to Expect from Results
