Lymphatic Drainage

Thank you for letting me be part of your recovery!

            Hello and thank you for letting me help you! First, I'd like to start by sharing with you that surgery is different for everyone. Please never compare yourself with others. This isn’t a race. Create a safe space and give time to your body to heal from surgical shock. The first question that comes to everyone’s mind is, 'why did I do this?'  You may experience a series of questions, anger, doubt, and sadness, this is called post-operative depression and it is completely normal. When in shock, the body doesn't know the difference between reconstructive/cosmetic surgery from a car accident or childbirth. Its goal is to survive and mold from all of these drastic, new changes. Fast recovery requires you to be mentally, emotionally, and physically prepared for the hardest part, the awakening.

            I always advise my clients to fully research the recovery phase to know what to expect and what they will need for in-home care. I will guide, teach, and help you understand what your body is trying to communicate to me and send you home with self-help tips tailored to your session specifically. Not once, have I ever had a case that's been one and the same. 30% of the recovery comes from massages, dieting, and doctor visits, the rest will be entirely up to you.

            You will be a couch potato for the first month. Please keep your wounds dried and covered with gauze and self-adhesive medical tape. Stray away from Neosporin or anything that may interfere with the natural healing process. Air particles such as debris are your worst enemies right now! Cover all deep wounds, stay home, rest, walk and keep hydrated. Do not apply anything to your deep wounds but soap, water and pat dry. Be gentle. To fully recover, we must take it slow. It takes 3 full months to completely recover and see any results i.e., a BBL, so please be patient, especially towards your body! Listen to it, you are the only one that truly knows what it needs. Drink a gallon of water a day and if you must work, don't wear heels, keep your arnica pills handy and elevate your legs at the end of your day.

             "Will the massage hurt?'  Yes and no. It all depends on how numb you are, how big the fibroids are, your diet, hydration, and more. One thing is for sure, we will find out, but note that I will try my best to accommodate the pressure but if I must, I will ask you to breathe and count down from 3 to 1. I do small increments of pain. Ultimately, my objective is to avoid you from having any future complications such as lymphedema, swelling, pain, or fibroids from augmenting.

             Congratulations on making this lifelong decision. There will forever be changes such as dieting and exercising to be made and I am more than happy to help you succeed every step of the way. If you have an emergency, please contact 911 immediately, such as yellow puss, bright red blood (coming out from the incision area, as this can be internal bleeding), loss of vision, appetite, dizziness, or a hard time breathing.
