What is a Lymphatic Massage?

A lymphatic massage is a specialized technique that encourages the natural movement of lymph fluids through your body. After surgery, lymphatic drainage can become sluggish, leading to swelling and delayed recovery. Through gentle, rhythmic movements, our trained practitioners help stimulate your lymphatic system, clearing waste, reducing fluid retention, and promoting faster, smoother healing.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Lymphatic Massage?

If you have recently undergone a surgical procedure such as a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, or liposuction, a lymphatic massage could significantly enhance your recovery process. Ideal candidates are those cleared by Dr. Oppenheimer or a team member for massage therapy, typically starting within the first few weeks after surgery. If you're unsure, we’re happy to assess your individual needs during your consultation.

Not at all. Our practitioners use light, strategic movements designed to accommodate any tenderness, ensuring a soothing rather than painful experience.
