Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage — Santa Monica | Soma Flow
Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage in Santa Monica — In-Studio or In-Home
Certified lymphatic drainage massage to reduce swelling, ease discomfort, and support a smoother recovery after your procedure.
Why Lymphatic Drainage After Surgery
If you've recently had liposuction, a BBL, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, facelift, or any other cosmetic or surgical procedure, your body is working overtime to clear excess fluid and reduce swelling. Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialized massage technique that helps your lymphatic system do this more efficiently — which many surgeons recommend as part of a smooth recovery.
Potential benefits include:
Reduced swelling and fluid retention
Less bruising and faster resolution of bruising
Lower risk of fibrosis and hardened tissue
Improved comfort and mobility during recovery
Better final results from your procedure
When to Start
Most surgeons recommend beginning lymphatic drainage sessions within the first few days to two weeks after surgery, depending on your procedure and your surgeon's specific guidance. We always recommend confirming timing with your surgeon before your first session — and we're happy to coordinate directly with your surgical team if helpful.
Commonly treated procedures:
Liposuction
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Breast Augmentation / Lift / Reduction
Facelift / Neck Lift
Mommy Makeover
Other cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries

FAQ
Is lymphatic drainage massage painful? No — it's a very light-touch technique, nothing like deep tissue massage. Most clients find it relaxing.
How soon after surgery can I start? This varies by procedure and surgeon. We recommend confirming with your surgeon, typically within the first 1–2 weeks post-op.
How many sessions will I need? Most clients benefit from a series of sessions over several weeks. We'll recommend a plan based on your procedure and healing progress.
Do you come to my home? Yes — in-home post-op lymphatic drainage is available throughout Santa Monica and the surrounding area.
Do I need a doctor's referral? Not required, but we're happy to coordinate directly with your surgeon's office if you'd like.
