Black text on a soft green background that reads: How often and how long should you get Manual Lymphatic Drainage (or MLD) after liposuction?

Black text on a soft green background that reads: I've been doing post-op massage since 2023 and here's what I've seen work. 1. Start lymphatic massage at 5-10 post. This give you time to settle into your body. 2. Expect at least weekly appointments, each between 30-60 minutes long, for the first 8-12 weeks. 3. Wean off massages and compression to avoid shocking your system!

Black text on a soft green background that reads: Fibrosis is stagnant swelling. Improper compression and pooled fluid contribute to this. By having a professional evaluate and treat swelling at least once a week, the chances of fibrosis developing after lipo are reduced. If fibrosis does show up, a therapist trained in both MLD and post-op care will know how to handle it. We can prevent and treat fibrosis!

Lymphatic massages after liposuction reduce swelling & pain, prevent & treat fibrosis, and get you the best result!

Here's the treatment plan my clients love:

A woman lies comfortably on a massage table with a cover on her eyes. She is gently propped up by a sturdy wedge and a soft pillow under her neck. Her knees are also elevated.

Surgery like a tummy tuck or BBL, vertigo/dizziness or heartburn/acid reflux make lying flat unsafe.
So I have many pillows and bolsters to customize positioning!
Everyone can enjoy a safe, effective, comfortable massage~
Book in Bellingham, WA!

A female massage therapist smiling while gently working her client's lower back on the massage table. Text in the lower half of the image reads: Oncology Massage And Acupressure Therapy. A text bubble placed over the image reads: I'm taking another class!

Black text on a soft green background that reads: Gentle exercise and movement are easy ways to help the lymph system. Contracting muscles and pulsing blood vessels squeeze and pump lymphatic vessels. Now think about people with heart conditions. Their baseline heartbeats might not be as strong as others, and they might need to be less active than others. See why they swell?

Black text on a soft green background that reads: So, lymphatic drainage is good for people with heart conditions - right? Well, it isn't so black and white. Yes, manual lymphatic drainage is prove to effectively reduce swelling. However, the lymphatic system returns its collected fluid into the circulatory system. This increases blood volume and strain on the heart. And if that heart is weak? Well that's not great!

Black text on a soft green background that reads: Moderation is key when using manual lymphatic drainage on people with heart conditions. A shorter lymphatic massage means boosting the lymphatic system into draining more quickly - without overwhelming the heart. It's important to monitor how the person feels, and stop treatment before they feel heaviness in the chest or like their breathing is restricted.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is effective at reducing swelling, but is it safe for people with heart conditions?

As long as it's done in moderation by a trained professional and with a doctor's permission~

Black text on a white background with a soft green boarder that reads: "Alyssa is one of the best massage therapists I've ever gone to. She takes the time to discuss your needs and will demonstrate some stretches for you to engage in between visits. I highly recommend her."

Thankful for another 5 star #review ♥️ The benefits of a massage don't have to end just because you get off the table! You're worth the investment and care it takes to treat pain and tension.

Black text on soft green background that reads: I've done post-op massage since 2023 and here's what works: Wear compression as much as possible for 6 weeks, then wean off it! Don't shock your system be going "cold turkey". Return to full-time compression if needed.

Black text on soft green background that reads: No one heals the same and you deserve kindness - especially from you! Returning to full-time compression doesn't mean you're going backwards. It doesn't mean you failed. It means your body still needs the support.

How long should you wear compression after liposuction? Let's talk about it~
