WHAT IS MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE (MLD) FOR?
PREPARING FOR A SPECIAL EVENT SUCH AS A WEDDING
Our manual lymphatic drainage services are perfect for a single session before a wedding, photo shoot, or big event can reduce puffiness and leave your face and body looking a little more sculpted and refreshed.
RECOVERING FROM SURGERY LIKE A TUMMY-TUCK OR BBL
If you've had liposuction, a tummy tuck, a BBL, or breast surgery, MLD is one of the most commonly recommended treatments during recovery. It helps manage swelling, reduces discomfort, and supports smoother, more even healing.
LIVING WITH CHRONIC SWELLING OR FLUID RETENTION
Some people deal with ongoing puffiness, bloating, or heaviness in the legs and face that doesn't resolve on its own. MLD encourages your lymphatic system to move fluid more efficiently, which can bring noticeable relief.
LYMPHATIC MASSAGE PRICING
Post Surgery Lymphatic Massage
Starts at $85
50 Minutes
Our post-surgery lymphatic massage uses gentle Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) to support the body throughout the recovery process. Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a specialized, gentle technique designed to encourage healthy lymphatic flow and fluid movement. Following surgery, MLD can help reduce swelling and fluid retention, support circulation, and ease feelings of heaviness or congestion as the body heals.
Each session is tailored to your procedure, stage of recovery, and individual needs. Post-surgical lymphatic massage can be especially beneficial following cosmetic and elective procedures where swelling and fluid buildup are common.
As a Vodder-trained Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapist, Tiffany uses advanced lymphatic techniques to provide thoughtful, individualized post-surgical care in a calm and supportive environment.
Individual sessions and package options are available. A series of lymphatic massage sessions may be recommended based on your procedure, stage of recovery, and individual needs.
Please note: Post-surgical clients should be medically cleared for lymphatic massage when appropriate. This service is supportive and does not replace medical care or instructions from your surgeon or healthcare provider.

WHAT A LYMPHATIC MASSAGE SESSION LOOKS LIKE
WHAT A LYMPHATIC MASSAGE ACTUALLY DOES
Manual lymphatic drainage is not a deep-tissue or sports massage. Where those techniques work muscle, MLD works just beneath the skin — using very light, rhythmic strokes that follow the natural direction of your lymphatic vessels. The pressure is closer to a light stroke than a squeeze; most clients describe it as calming rather than intense.
The lymphatic system doesn't have a pump like the heart does to move fluid on its own. It relies on movement and outside stimulation — which is exactly what this technique provides. By encouraging that fluid along its natural pathways, the treatment can reduce swelling, ease a feeling of heaviness, and support your body's own healing process.
-
Sessions take place in a private treatment room. Appointment length varies by the service selected.
-
You'll stay clothed or lightly draped, depending on the area being treated.
-
If you're coming in post-surgery, let Tiffany know about any garments, drains, or incision sites in advance so the session can be adjusted around them.
-
Most people feel immediate lightness after a session, with continued improvement over the following day or two as fluid continues to move. There's no downtime — you can return to normal activity right away.

LYMPHATIC MASSAGE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is lymphatic massage and what does it do?
Lymphatic massage, also known as Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), is a gentle, specialized technique that encourages the natural movement of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. MLD can help reduce swelling, fluid retention, puffiness, and feelings of heaviness while supporting healthy lymphatic flow and overall wellness.
Is lymphatic massage only for post-surgery recovery?
No. While post-surgery lymphatic massage is commonly used to support recovery and reduce swelling, Manual Lymphatic Drainage can be beneficial even if you haven’t had surgery. It may help with fluid retention, facial puffiness, sinus congestion, seasonal allergies, inflammation, and congestion associated with acne-prone skin, while also providing a deeply relaxing experience.
What is the difference between lymphatic massage and Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is the specialized technique used to gently stimulate lymphatic flow. Unlike traditional massage, MLD uses very light, rhythmic movements designed specifically to work with the superficial lymphatic system. Tiffany is trained in the Vodder method of Manual Lymphatic Drainage.
Is lymphatic drainage massage painful?
No. Manual Lymphatic Drainage should be gentle, light, and rhythmic—not deep or painful. Because much of the lymphatic system being targeted lies close to the surface of the skin, heavy pressure is not necessary. Many clients find lymphatic drainage extremely calming and relaxing.
How often should I get lymphatic massage?
How often you receive lymphatic massage depends on your goals and individual needs. Some clients schedule occasional sessions for general lymphatic support, puffiness, or relaxation, while others benefit from a series of treatments. Post-surgical clients may require more frequent sessions depending on their procedure, stage of recovery, and their surgeon’s recommendations.
What is the difference between Lymphatic Massage and Lymphatic Massage + Facial?
Both services include Manual Lymphatic Drainage to encourage healthy lymphatic flow and fluid movement. Lymphatic Massage + Facial also includes a customized facial, making it ideal for clients who want to address concerns such as acne-prone or congested skin, facial puffiness, dullness, and overall skin health while receiving the benefits of lymphatic drainage.
“Highly recommend Poise Aesthetics… I found Tiffany back in 2021. I’m a picky client, but her sweet personality, attention to detail, knowledge of her craft, & cleanliness won me over right away. I have been back every month since then!”
