Post-Op Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage by Luciana Andrus®
Post-Op Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage by Luciana Andrus®
Recovery deserves thoughtful, individualized attention.
Post-Operative Care
Recovery deserves thoughtful, individualized attention.
Our specialized protocol includes hands-on, whole-body lymphatic drainage at every session, with additional time devoted to the operated area. This approach applies whether your procedure involves the face, chin, arms, thighs, abdomen, or several areas.
The lymphatic system extends throughout the body. Our protocol considers your recovery as a whole while adapting techniques, pressure, and positioning to your stage of healing and your surgeon's instructions.
Our care complements your surgical follow-up. Concerns about incisions, unusual symptoms, or possible complications require assessment by your surgical team.
Post-Operative FAQs
When should I book my appointments?
Contact us before surgery, ideally at least one month ahead, so we can discuss your procedure and reserve appointments. Availability varies, particularly for sessions with Luciana.
How soon after surgery can I begin?
Your surgeon's clearance and instructions guide the start date. When appropriate and cleared, gentle sessions may begin within 1–3 days. Some procedures or recovery circumstances require a later start.
How often do you recommend sessions?
Our body-surgery protocol commonly recommends:
• Month 1: three sessions per week
• Month 2: two sessions per week
• Month 3: one session per week
For facial procedures, we commonly recommend two sessions weekly during the first month, followed by reassessment.
These schedules describe our practice's approach. Recommendations are individualized according to your procedure, progress, and surgical instructions.
Should treatment hurt?
Treatment should remain within your comfort. Recovering tissues may be tender, and pressure is adjusted accordingly. Tell your therapist immediately if anything feels painful.
Can treatment guarantee a particular recovery or result?
No. Recovery varies, and lymphatic care does not guarantee a specific surgical outcome or prevention of complications.
Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage for Wellness
Take time to relax and reconnect with your body.
Our wellness protocol offers a personalized, whole-body experience using rhythmic manual techniques adapted to your comfort. It is intended for clients seeking relaxation and support with feelings of puffiness or fluid retention when lymphatic drainage is appropriate.
We review your health history before treatment. New, unexplained, or persistent swelling should be medically evaluated.
Wellness FAQs
How does wellness drainage differ from post-operative care?
The wellness protocol is designed for general wellness needs. Post-operative lymphatic care is specifically adapted to surgical recovery, healing tissues, and the surgeon's instructions.
How often should I schedule wellness sessions?
Frequency depends on your goals, health history, and response. Your therapist will help you choose a suitable schedule.
What might I notice afterward?
Some clients report relaxation, a sense of lightness, or changes in puffiness. Experiences vary, and immediate visible changes are not guaranteed.
