Lymphatic Drainage After Surgery: What to Know Before Your Recovery – Northbrook Endermologie Studio

After procedures like liposuction or a tummy tuck, many plastic surgeons recommend lymphatic drainage as part of recovery. If you’re planning a procedure this winter, here’s what North Shore patients should know.

What it is: lymphatic drainage is a gentle treatment that encourages the natural movement of lymph fluid. After surgery, patients often use it to help with swelling and comfort during recovery.

When to start: only when your surgeon says so. Timing depends on the procedure and on how you’re healing, so always follow your surgeon’s guidance and bring their recommendations to your first session.

What to expect: sessions are relaxing and non-invasive. Many patients book a series of treatments in the weeks after surgery instead of a single visit.

Planning ahead: if your surgery is scheduled, book a consultation before the procedure. That way your recovery sessions are planned and you’re not searching for a provider while you’re sore and swollen.
