What Happens to the Lymphatic System After Liposuction?
Liposuction disrupts or damages lymphatic capillaries in the targeted adipose tissue. While these capillaries regenerate over time, the recovery process can be prolonged without support. Post-liposuction lymphatic drainage massage is essential to:
- Reduce swelling (edema) by manually moving lymphatic fluids.
- Prevent complications like fibrosis or seromas.
- Support the regeneration of lymphatic pathways.
Lymphedema, or the buildup of fluid and proteins in tissue, is a common issue after liposuction. Lymphatic massage for liposuction recovery clears these fluids, helping you heal faster and reducing the risk of complications.

FAQ: Lymphatic Drainage After Liposuction
1. Should I Get Lymphatic Massage Before Surgery?
Yes! Preparing your body with 1–2 lymphatic drainage sessions before surgery helps clear toxins and improve lymphatic function, ensuring smoother recovery.
2. When Should I Start Lymphatic Drainage After Liposuction?
Surgeons recommend starting within the first few days post-surgery. Early sessions prevent fluid buildup and the formation of scar tissue, accelerating recovery.
3. How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The answer depends on the extent of your liposuction, and the location. Most physicians will recommend a series of 2-3 sessions a week for the first few weeks. Most people will start with 10-12 sessions and then re-evaluate. After those initial sessions, it is recommended that you continue with your Lymphatic Drainage for liposuction to help re-educate and regenerate your lymphatic system for several weeks after surgery.
4. Is Lymphatic Massage Painful?
No, true manual lymphatic drainage is gentle and soothing. At Uma Clinic, we provide light, effective treatments to ensure comfort during your recovery.
5. Will you re-open my sutures to drain fluid? Will it be painful?
A new style of ” Lymphatic Massage” (called Brazilian Lymphatic Massage) has surged in the last few years where fluid is pushed downwards instead of working with the flow of the lymphatic. Some “Lymphatic Massages” reopen the surgical holes and push plasma and blood out of those holes. They are not moving Lymph. And yet, they still call this Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD). It is NOT. They are doing DEEP TISSUE not Manual Lymph Drainage. DEEP TISSUE crushes the lymphatic system and after surgery will cause more damage, bruising and swelling. This is also another way Seromas are created. Deep Tissue is CONTRAINDICATED after surgery. Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage Massage after lipo is meant to be light work because the lymph system is right underneath the skin. When it is done correctly it is gentle, not painful, and soothing.
6. When can I do Wood Therapy?
Wood Therapy uses tools to manipulate and restructure fatty tissues. If you are going to do this treatment, it is NOT advisable that you do it during your liposuction recovery. Wood Therapy CONTRAINDICATED right after surgery.
If you are looking for a therapy to decrease fat and cellulite, we would suggest you consider ULTRASONIC FAT CAVITATION. If you do this treatment, you need to WAIT AT LEAST 6 MONTHS AFTER SURGERY. It is a much more effective treatment to reduce fat. Physicians recommend you incorporate it as a treatment to reduce the lumpiness that may be experienced from liposuction.
7. Should I get Electro-Lymphatic Drainage or Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
We offer both here at the clinic. And we highly suggest that you chose Electro-Lymph Therapy to rehab after your plastic surgery. Although Manual Lymph Drainage is extremely beneficial when done by a well-trained Lymphatic Therapist, Electro-Lymph Therapy is much more effective. A state of the art tools to significantly improve lymphatic flow, break down debris and large proteins. It precisely targets and unclogs lymph nodes or in lymphatic pathways throughout the body. It is painless, very relaxing, and extremely effective.
