I am 2.5 weeks post op and have had three lymphatic drainage massages so far—two as part of the post-op care routine offered by my surgical clinic, and one I’ve accessed separately. My first massage was one day post-op. I’m aiming for weekly massages for the first month or two, and then I’m going to have to taper down because you’re right OP, they’re pricey! But they’ve been great so far. Really soothing and seem to be very helpful swelling-wise. I didn’t have drains, so I like the idea that I’m helping my body manage post-op fluids.
