Frequently asked questions

A gentle, specialized technique that helps your body remove excess fluid, reduce swelling, and support healing after surgery. By stimulating the lymphatic system, it moves trapped fluid so your body can naturally eliminate it, which may reduce inflammation, bruising, and discomfort.

Yes. We provide professional post-operative lymphatic drainage in Austin and the greater Central Texas area, for patients recovering from both medical and cosmetic procedures.

It can support recovery after many procedures, including:

• Liposuction and body contouring
• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and tummy tuck
• Breast surgery (augmentation, reduction, or reconstruction)
• Knee, shoulder, ACL, and hip replacement surgery
• Back or spinal surgery
• Bariatric, gastric bypass, and abdominal surgery
• Swelling after sports injuries

• Reduce post-surgical swelling
• Encourage fluid movement and drainage
• Improve circulation and support tissue healing
• Reduce discomfort and pressure
• Lower the risk of fluid buildup (seromas)
