About Post-Surgical Drainage Massage
Post-surgical drainage massage at Doral Med Spa is a specialized recovery treatment designed for clients who have undergone cosmetic or medical surgery and need professional support during their healing process. This one-hour session uses advanced manual lymphatic drainage techniques specifically adapted for post-operative tissue, helping to reduce swelling, prevent fibrosis, minimize bruising, and accelerate your overall recovery timeline.
Our therapists are trained in post-surgical protocols and understand the unique needs of healing tissue after procedures such as liposuction, tummy tucks, breast augmentation, BBL, facelifts, and other cosmetic surgeries. We adjust pressure, technique, and focus areas based on your specific procedure, how many days post-surgery you are, and your surgeon's recommendations. Treatment always begins gently and progresses as your healing allows.
Starting post-surgical drainage at the right time is critical. Most surgeons recommend beginning sessions within 48 to 72 hours after surgery, when early intervention can significantly reduce complications like seroma formation, excessive swelling, and hardened tissue. We work closely with local surgeons in the Doral area and can coordinate with your surgical team to ensure a safe, effective recovery plan.
Ideal for
Clients recovering from cosmetic surgery such as liposuction, tummy tucks, BBL, breast augmentation, or facelifts who need professional post-operative care.
Key benefits
Accelerated healing
Specialized drainage techniques move surgical fluids away from the treatment area, reducing recovery time by days or weeks.
Fibrosis prevention
Early and consistent drainage helps prevent the formation of hard, lumpy scar tissue that can develop after liposuction and other procedures.
Reduced bruising and swelling
Gentle lymphatic stimulation helps the body reabsorb blood and fluid pooling, leading to less visible bruising and faster resolution of swelling.
Frequently asked questions
Most surgeons recommend starting within 48 to 72 hours after surgery for optimal results. Early intervention is key to preventing complications. However, always follow your surgeon's specific guidance. Bring any post-operative instructions to your first appointment so we can coordinate care.
The number varies by procedure. Liposuction typically requires six to twelve sessions, while less invasive procedures may need three to six. Most clients start with three sessions per week and gradually decrease frequency as swelling subsides. We create a personalized schedule based on your procedure and recovery progress.
Our therapists are trained to work within your comfort level. Early post-surgical sessions use very light pressure and focus on areas away from incisions. Some tenderness is normal, especially in the first week after surgery, but the treatment should never be painful. We constantly check in with you and adjust accordingly.
