Results vary by patient, but most San Francisco providers report 6–18 months of sustained benefit from a full Lymphatic Drainage Massage series.
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
Most plastic surgeons recommend it. Liposuction leaves fluid in the treated areas and disrupts the small lymphatic channels; manual drainage moves that fluid out, reduces swelling faster, and lowers the risk of the firm, lumpy areas called fibrosis that can form as the tissue heals. A typical plan is two to three sessions a week for the first few weeks, starting within days of surgery with the surgeon's clearance.
Nothing like a deep tissue massage. The strokes are light, slow, and rhythmic, following the direction lymph flows toward the nodes in the neck, armpits, and groin. Most people find it relaxing; after surgery there can be tenderness over the treated areas, and the therapist works around it.
It reduces fluid, which can make the body look less puffy the same day, and that is what wellness clients are paying for. It does not remove toxins in any measurable sense, and it does not remove fat. A clinic that sells it as either is overselling.
Typically $80 to $200 per session, with packages for post-surgical series. Some surgeons include sessions in a surgical package; ask before booking separately.
