Postoperative (Post Surgery) MLD Massage
Service Description
Postoperative manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialized therapy that plays an important role in recovery following surgery, particularly cosmetic and aesthetic procedures. This technique uses light, rhythmic movements to support the lymphatic system, helping the body reduce swelling, manage fluid retention, minimize bruising, and promote healthy tissue healing. After cosmetic surgeries such as liposuction, tummy tuck, body contouring, breast procedures, and facial surgeries, the lymphatic system can become overwhelmed due to inflammation and trauma to the tissues. Manual lymphatic drainage helps encourage proper fluid movement, supports circulation, and may improve overall comfort and healing outcomes when incorporated into postoperative care. At Ohana Center for Healing Therapies, postoperative MLD sessions are performed with intention, precision, and respect for your body’s healing timeline. Each session is customized based on your procedure, stage of recovery, and provider recommendations, always working within safe and appropriate guidelines. This therapy is not deep massage and should never be painful. Instead, it is a calming, restorative experience designed to support the body as it heals. Benefits May Include: Reduced postoperative swelling and fluid buildup Support for healing after cosmetic procedures Decreased bruising and inflammation Improved comfort and mobility during recovery Support of lymphatic circulation and immune function Nervous system calming and relaxation What to Expect: Gentle, rhythmic manual lymphatic techniques Focus on surgical and compensatory drainage areas A nurturing, supportive environment Care coordinated with your postoperative timeline and clearance Postoperative manual lymphatic drainage is widely recommended as part of comprehensive aftercare following cosmetic surgery and can be an essential component in supporting recovery and optimizing results when used appropriately. Important Notes: Medical clearance may be required prior to treatment This service supports recovery but does not replace medical or surgical care Session timing and frequency will be discussed individually
