Why proper recovery matters
Your surgery is step one. Recovery protects it.
Surgery creates trauma your body must resolve. In the weeks afterward, fluid builds up, tissue inflames, and how that fluid clears affects your comfort and final result.
- Reduces swelling & fluid retention — more comfortable, sooner
- Lowers fibrosis risk — prevents hardened, lumpy tissue
- Helps prevent seromas — keeps fluid moving properly
- Protects your contour — skin settles evenly

Patient questions
What cosmetic surgery patients ask
Many patients begin gentle MLD as early as 2-5 days post-op, but the safe start date is the one your surgeon gives you.
No — our work complements your surgical aftercare. We follow your surgeon’s guidance on timing, compression and activity.
Yes. We offer mobile in-home sessions throughout Jacksonville — ideal in the first one to two weeks.
Most patients schedule between 6 and 12 sessions — starting more frequently and tapering as swelling resolves.
