Healing after surgery is a journey that goes beyond rest and scar care. One of the most effective ways to reduce swelling, manage discomfort, and support faster recovery is through lymphatic drainage massage. This gentle, hands-on therapy is becoming a trusted part of many post-op recovery plans, and at Aesthetic Center of Excellence, Eunice Hernandez is known for delivering powerful results with her technique.
Eunice has seen a growing number of post-surgical patients coming in for targeted lymphatic drainage. Her work helps reduce fluid buildup, minimize scar tissue, and promote faster, smoother healing. Many of these patients credit her massage treatments for helping them feel more comfortable and look more sculpted, even just days or weeks after surgery.
What Happens to the Lymphatic System After Surgery?
Any surgical procedure, especially cosmetic surgeries like liposuction or tummy tucks, can temporarily disrupt your lymphatic system. The body naturally sends fluid and immune cells to the area to help with healing, but this can often lead to swelling, inflammation, and congestion.
The lymphatic system is responsible for clearing out this fluid and waste. However, after surgery, the system can slow down or become overwhelmed, especially if tissues are damaged or inflamed. When fluid sits in the tissues too long, it can lead to discomfort, longer recovery times, or less-than-ideal results.
How Does Lymphatic Drainage Massage Help?
Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle technique that uses rhythmic, specific movements to guide fluid back into the lymphatic system. This encourages the body to flush out swelling, remove waste, and reestablish proper circulation.
Some of the main benefits of post-surgical lymphatic drainage include:
- Reduced swelling and bruising
- Improved circulation and faster healing
- Smoother, more sculpted post-op results
- Less discomfort and stiffness
- Decreased risk of fluid pockets (seromas)
These benefits are especially noticeable after procedures like liposuction, tummy tucks, BBLs, and other body contouring surgeries.

What to Expect During a Post-Op Massage
Lymphatic drainage is not painful. It is a very light, slow technique designed to gently move fluid toward the lymph nodes. Eunice takes a personalized approach, adjusting pressure and pace based on where a patient is in their healing journey.
Treatments typically focus on the surgical area but may also include surrounding regions to support whole-body drainage. Many patients say the sessions feel soothing and relaxing, and most leave feeling lighter, less swollen, and more mobile.
When Should You Start Post-Op Lymphatic Massage?
In most cases, lymphatic drainage massage can begin within a few days to a week after surgery, depending on your surgeon’s instructions. Early intervention can help reduce swelling before it becomes uncomfortable or interferes with your results.
Eunice often recommends a series of treatments over the first 4 to 6 weeks of healing. The exact number of sessions will vary based on your surgery and how your body responds.
