Our lymphatic drainage massage in Houston is one of the most requested services at Silueta Med Spa. After liposuction, lipo sculpting, a BBL, a tummy tuck or breast augmentation, your body holds on to extra fluid and swelling. A well done lymphatic massage helps move that fluid, helps the swelling go down and helps you feel better while you heal.
What is lymphatic drainage?
It is a gentle, slow and rhythmic massage that stimulates the lymphatic system, the network that collects fluid and waste from your tissues. After cosmetic surgery that system is overloaded. Using hands-on strokes directed toward the lymph nodes, your therapist helps the trapped fluid drain naturally.
Benefits of post-op massage
- Helps reduce swelling and that heavy, tight feeling.
- Helps prevent fibrosis, the hard lumpy areas that form when fluid sets.
- Supports better circulation and a more comfortable healing process.
- Eases discomfort during recovery.
- Helps your surgical result look smoother and more even.
By type of surgery
Liposuction and tummy tuck. We work the abdomen and flanks with rhythmic strokes that guide fluid toward the lymph nodes, working with or around your compression garment depending on your stage.
Lipo sculpting and BBL. We use steady, controlled pressure over the treated areas so excess fluid drains gradually, while protecting the areas where fat was transferred.
Breast augmentation. Massage helps relieve tension and swelling around the implants.
Facial surgery. Facial lymphatic drainage uses very light strokes over the neck and face lymph nodes.
Tips for better results
- Always follow your surgeon’s instructions, including when to start massage.
- Wear your compression garment as directed.
- Drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet.
- Do not smoke while you are recovering.
- Tell us about low blood pressure, infection, fever or any heart condition before your appointment.
