A look into my week as a Post-Op Recovery Specialist ✨

Swipe to see real before & afters from clients in different stages of healing.
Post-op recovery isn’t just rest — it’s intentional care.

Lymphatic drainage helps reduce swelling, support healing, and make recovery more comfortable.

Your body is doing the work. I’m here to support it 🤍

✨ Lymphatic Drainage - Why we start at the neck ✨

The terminus is where your lymphatic system drains back into the bloodstream.

Opening this area first helps reduce swelling, support detox, and improve post-op healing from the inside out.

Post-op swelling doesn’t start at the incision — it starts with drainage.

Clearing the lymphatic terminus helps your body move fluid, heal faster.

And to think her surgeon didnt recommend lymphatic drainage😏😎

This doll reached out to me in desperate need of reducing her swelling after Tummy Tuck with muscle repair.

However her surgeon was a little hesitant to recommend lymphatic drainage because of some experiences he's had in the past with patients not receiving the proper technique after surgery.

He complained of seeing hematomas and seromas and warned her to just stay away.

She listened to his advice for the first few weeks and at her last post op appointment with him she said I'm going to get a massage tomorrow. He cleared her and LOOK AT THESE RESULTS!!!🙌🏻😍🤗

PROOF that proper MLD for Post Surgical Recovery is MAGIC 🪄✨

We only did 3 sessions (1x/week) and now she is on a maintenance routine of one session bi-weekly until she feels her swelling is officially kept at bay.

I love this work I get to do and the people's lives I touch in making a difference during their recovery after plastic surgery.🙏🏻😃

Estheticians cannot manipulate fluid other than for facial work unless they hold a massage license. If they touch anywhere else on the body it's considered massage.

Stop 🚫 trying to do too much after surgery! Take enough time off and have a support system to help you with daily chores and activities.
