After surgery like facelifts, tummy tucks, liposuction, or BBLs, swelling and stiffness can stick around. Lymphatic drainage can make a big difference in your recovery. 

Planning your post-op care ahead of time is just as important as choosing the right procedure, and not all lymphatic massages are the same. 

To support healing, you need someone who truly understands the lymphatic system. A qualified therapist with the right training can help you recover safely and more effectively.

Many people claim to be lymphatic specialists but lack proper credentials. Board-certified massage therapist and lymphedema expert Kathleen Lisson explains how to find the right lymphatic drainage therapist and what to ask before letting someone treat you.

Kathleen explains why surgeons and therapists need to work together during recovery, and she sets the record straight on home massages and lymphatic therapy devices.
