Post-Liposuction Care: How Lymphatic Drainage Speeds Recovery
Whether you’ve had liposuction on your inner thigh, outer thigh, Hips, or calves:
Post-op recovery in the legs can be tough. Swelling, stiffness, and uneven texture are common. That’s where Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) comes in!
Located in the South Denver Metro area, Summit Therapeutics has a specialist in post-op lymphatic drainage massage. Perfect follow-up care for liposuction and other cosmetic surgeries.
Why Legs Swell So Much After Lipo
The lower body is particularly prone to fluid retention after surgery. Your lymphatic system works hard to flush out waste and reduce swelling—but after liposuction, it needs support.
MLD uses gentle, rhythmic strokes to encourage lymph flow without disrupting healing tissues.
Key Benefits of MLD for Leg Lipo:
Reduced swelling and tightness
Minimized bruising and stiffness
Improved circulation in the lower extremities
Support for even, symmetrical healing
Reduced risk of hard or lumpy tissue (fibrosis)
When excess swelling is left unmanaged, it can cause discomfort during walking or sitting, making daily life more difficult. MLD not only helps with the physical healing process, but also allows clients to regain mobility and return to normal activities sooner.
Many clients report reduced pain, lighter-feeling legs, and smoother skin texture after just a few sessions.
We tailor each session to your procedure, healing stage, and comfort level.
