Yes — it's most commonly booked for post-surgical recovery, especially after liposuction, tummy tucks and BBLs, to help manage swelling and reduce the risk of seromas and fibrosis. Follow your surgeon's advice on timing and choose a therapist experienced in post-operative MLD.
Much gentler. It uses light, slow, rhythmic strokes rather than firm pressure — if it feels deep or intense, it isn't being done correctly. The goal is to move fluid, not to work the muscles.
No. It reduces fluid retention and swelling so you may feel less puffy, but it doesn't remove fat. Any immediate change is water, not weight loss.
It varies. For general puffiness people book occasionally or as a short course; after surgery a series is usual, with your surgeon advising the number and timing. The benefit builds over a course rather than a single session.

What does lymphatic drainage massage actually do?
It uses very light, slow, rhythmic strokes to encourage lymph fluid to move toward the lymph nodes, where the body processes it. The pressure is much gentler than a normal massage — if it feels deep or intense, it isn't lymphatic drainage. The aim is to reduce swelling and fluid build-up, not to work the muscles.
Is it used after surgery?
Yes — post-surgical recovery is the most common reason people book it, particularly after liposuction, a tummy tuck, BBL or similar procedures. It can help reduce post-operative swelling and may lower the risk of fluid pockets (seromas) and hardened tissue (fibrosis). Always follow your surgeon's guidance on when to start and how many sessions — and choose a therapist experienced in post-operative work, as technique and timing matter around a surgical site.
How many sessions will I need?
For general wellbeing, people often book occasionally or as a course. After surgery, a series is typical — your surgeon will usually advise the number and timing, as it varies by procedure. The effect is cumulative rather than one-off, so a course tends to be more useful than a single session.
Does lymphatic drainage help with weight loss?
No — this is a common misconception. It reduces fluid retention and swelling, so you may look and feel less puffy, but it doesn't remove fat or cause weight loss. Any change on the scales is water, not fat. It's a swelling and recovery treatment, not a weight-loss one.
