Lymphatic Drainage Massage – FAQs?
Can a deep tissue massage or regular massages benefit me after a plastic surgery?
No, in fact deep tissue massages are contraindicated in areas of edema. Unnecessary pressure in the area operated can damage the surgery results. Each surgery requires different techniques. It is important to choose a therapist that has the experience and education required to perform this treatment.
How soon can I have the lymphatic drainage after my surgery?
We go by doctor recommendation. We have seen patients one day after their surgery. Normally you will see a big improvement after the first session. If you are experiencing a lot of pain it will start diminishing soon after your first massage.
If I had a surgery 1 year ago and I’m experiencing skin hardening and painful lumps can massage help?
Yes, even dough after time it becomes chronic we can still help. We have had patients that even after one year of surgery have experience wonderful results. Please note these symptoms don’t go away with time they only become chronic.
If I still have my drain or my incision still open, can I start the massages?
Yes, our therapists are trained to help you drain through the incision while it’s still open or to help you take care of your drain.
Is the regular lymphatic drainage the same as lymphatic drainage post-op?
Same concept, different knowledge. The lymphatic drainage post-op is complemented with other techniques and therapies to achieve maximum results. Having just the regular lymphatic drainage will be like doing only half of the treatment.
The therapists performing your treatment have gone through extended training.
What other therapies conform the post-operatory treatment?
Complementary to the lymphatic drainage you will receive ultrasound, cavitation, radio-frequency and electrotherapy. All these therapies are included in your package.
What is the lymphatic system and how does it work?
The lymphatic system Is the system that runs parallel to the circulatory system. Consist of vasos and lymph nodes. When we stimulate the lymph nodes there is a release of white cells to help the immune system. After a surgery the lymph nodes blocked and causes lymph fluid retention. Through Manual lymphatic drainage we stimulate the system to release white cells that helps to flush out the excess of lymphatic fluid that causes edema. The lymphatic system is designed to get rid of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials.
Our Reviews
I am very grateful with this place! Specially my therapist Yaneth, she is very caring, professional and helpful and she is the reason why I’ve been coming to this clinic for over a year now! I initially came here for my post op massages but then I found out Yaneth is a pro at wood therapy and decided to give it a try and honestly that is the best decision I made!! I feel and look great and will definitely keep coming back!!

I am nine months post op from my reconstruction DIEP surgery. Initially, I was going to a physical therapist who was recommended by my plastic surgeon to assist with my mobility. The treatment was just ok. I decided to do my own research and discovered Lymphatic Drainage Orlando and thank God that I did. Upon making my appointment, I spoke with the receptionist about my recent surgery and concerns. She expressed to me not to worry and that she had just therapist for me. My appointment was made with Luisa. I write this with tears in my eyes because she has truly been a blessing to me. She is phenomenal!!! Thanks to Luisa I have 90% of my mobility back. In addition to helping with my stiffness, she also treat my scars...they are much softer and not as rigged. The rooms are very clean and relaxing. The staff is very attentive, welcoming and friendly. The service here is outstanding! You will not be disappointed.
I am treating with Luisa for my Plantar Fasciitis and heel pain . She treats it with massage techniques and Tapping. She is very very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her.
Grateful for this group!!! Janice has been massaging me since my mommy makeover surgery and has been an instrumental part of my recovery and reducing the swelling post op. Everyone here has been so kind, compassionate and understanding. My first appointment was 4 days post op. I’ve been for at least 7+ massages now and really happy with the visible results and different techniques and therapies they incorporate the further post op I get! I’m seeing and feeling the changes! Also want to add that it’s very sanitary, with healing wounds this was a big concern prior to coming.
My message therapist Louisa is AMAZING. she has gifted hands. She’s very sweet. I had lumps and was so stiff after my surgery. After getting my messages from her I feel so good. I would definitely request her to do more of my massages and refer to anyone.
Vicky was my angel during this recovery time and she is amazing … blessed hands with a perfect professional technique which makes me feel comfortable and relax at every single session. I highly recommend her and the all staff are very friendly and warm . Love it , love everything.
The environment is so serene and the massages relieve so much pain, soreness, and swelling. You leave feeling 100 percent better every time ! They are awesome!
I had lipo and tummy tuck. I waited to see them because of the pain fear. I regret waiting. They were very detailed and knowledgeable at consulting. Vicky is the best. She has angel hands and is very personable. Overall, nice, affordable, and kind place.
The entire staff is friendly but I love my masseuse (Yaneth)! ❤️ She always has a smile even behind her mask, we laugh and chit chat while she's massaging. I always feel so much better when I leave. I have noticed improvements and results after having a tummy tuck. I developed hard masses under my skin which have all gone away after just my second to third visit!! Thank you so much to Yaneth and the team at Lymphatic Drainage Orlando!
