💛 Caring for Your Body After Surgery
Your post-op journey matters. Here’s what you need to know to heal with confidence and care.
1. When should I start post-op lymphatic massage?
You should begin lymphatic drainage massage within 3–7 days after surgery, depending on your surgeon’s guidance. Starting early helps reduce swelling, support fluid movement, and prevent complications like fibrosis. Each session is customized based on your healing stage and the type of procedure you had.
2. How often should I schedule post-op massages?
Most clients benefit from 2–3 sessions per week for the first 2–3 weeks, then taper down as healing progresses. For optimal results, we recommend committing to a 5-, 10-, or 15-session recovery plan, depending on the procedure and individual recovery needs.
3. What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and your compression garment (if applicable). It’s helpful to bring any post-op accessories (foams, boards, or fajas) so we can assess placement and provide guidance.
4. What is the difference between lymphatic drainage and cavitation?
Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique used to move lymphatic fluid and reduce swelling after surgery.
Ultrasound cavitation is a body contouring tool used only on post-op clients to help soften fibrotic tissue and maintain surgical results. Cavitation is not used for general fat loss at Mesan Wellness.
5. Can I book just one massage, or do I need a package?
You can absolutely book a single session to get started, but most post-op clients benefit from consistent care. Packages are designed to support your full healing journey while offering savings and priority scheduling.
6. What if I’ve developed fibrosis or lumps after surgery?
Fibrosis can happen when fluid hardens under the skin. If you're experiencing lumps or tightness, we offer specialized therapy using manual techniques, red light, wood therapy, and (when needed) cavitation to break down hardened tissue and restore your contour. The sooner we begin, the better the results.
7. Is post-op massage painful?
Not with us! Our approach is gentle, respectful, and tailored to your comfort. Some areas may feel tender depending on your healing stage, but we never force pressure or cause pain. Our goal is to help your body relax, release, and recover.
