Faster & Easier
Post Cosmetic Surgery Recovery
While the body can recover by itself after a trauma such as surgery, lymphatic support helps to harness the body’s innate ability to heal and creates a faster, smoother path back to everyday life.
Lymph drainage therapy drains the post-surgery fluid that often builds up in the affected area thereby reducing post surgery swelling and bruising. It also calms the nervous system which allows for healing to happen more rapidly.
As a Lymphatic Drainage Therapist who specializes in post cosmetic surgery recovery, I use light, therapeutic touch that ‘drains’ post surgery fluid without causing further trauma.
I combine this work with other techniques and my intuition to sense and clear the blocked or stuck areas that can otherwise prolong your recovery.
This individualized approach to post cosmetic surgery healing, will allow you to be able to return to everyday life sooner while feeling supported in your recovery process
not just post-surgery wounds.
With nearly 30 years of experience in working with the body and helping clients to restore optimal well-being, my hands and my ability to perceive and clear blocked areas are two of my gifts.

FAQs about Post Op Lymphatic Drainage With Pia Romano
When should I start Lymphatic Drainage Therapy after surgery?
You’ll need to have cleared it with your surgeon first but many clients are able to start Lymphatic Drainage Therapy treatments about a few days to a week after their surgery.
Why isn’t it safe to push fluid out of incisions after surgery?
Pushing fluid out of incisions can increase the risk of infection, scarring and other complications. Post surgery Lymphatic Drainage Therapy should involve specific LDT techniques that move fluid through the body’s natural drainage pathways rather than trying to force it through incisions/wounds.
Why are tools or wood therapy not appropriate for post surgery Lymphatic Drainage Therapy?
Post operative tissue is sensitive and has experienced trauma during surgery. Wood therapy and other tools don’t allow the same precision as hands-only Lymphatic Drainage Therapy and can cause further inflammation and trauma. Hands-only LDT also enables the ability to sense energy blocks that impact recovery.
What’s the difference between post op lymphatic massage and Brazilian or sculpting lymphatic massage?
‘Brazilian’ lymphatic massage techniques often involve vigorous pressure and ‘draining’ through incisions, which can be too aggressive for post op clients. The Vodder-trained technique used in my practice is a science-backed and light touch technique that prioritizes safety and long term wellbeing rather than temporary ‘sculpting’ results.
What if I need to fly after my surgery?
Flying post surgery can increase the risk of fluid retention and complications but this can be minimized with specialized post op lymphatic support and professional K-taping. This is something we can discuss in your phone consultation and tailor your LDT treatments accordingly.
