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.
