Post‑op lymphatic drainage is a specialized recovery support service for clients healing after a cosmetic procedure performed by their surgeon. Its goal is to reduce swelling, support healthy lymphatic circulation, and help prevent issues such as fluid retention, irregularities, and fibrosis (hardening).

This is not a relaxation massage. It’s a therapeutic, clinically‑inspired process that follows your recovery timeline.

What it helps with

• Swelling (edema) and fluid retention
• Discomfort and pressure from inflammation
• Bruising support (depending on your procedure and timing)
• Tissue recovery and skin adaptation
• Fibrosis prevention and texture irregularities

Our 3‑phase recovery protocol

Recovery is not one‑size‑fits‑all—your body needs different support at each stage. At Tu Piel Spa, we work in recovery phases, adapting technique and specialized equipment to your progress.

Phase 1 — Decongestion & comfort

Focus: drain, reduce inflammation, and relieve discomfort.

Phase 2 — Tissue recovery & fibrosis prevention

Focus: support tissue healing, help the skin adapt, and prevent fibrosis / hardening.

Phase 3 — Optimization & final results

Focus: improve texture, firmness, and overall contour harmony as recovery advances.

When to start

General guidance (very important): for liposuction, many clients can start the next day; for abdominoplasty, typically 2 days after. Start only with medical clearance and according to your post‑op instructions. If you’re unsure, we can help align your visits with your recovery plan.
