How often do I need to come in after surgery?

It depends on what you had done. Typically, most post-op care recommendations are 1-2x/week within the first 1-3 weeks following surgery. After that sessions may be dropped down to 1x/week for another 1-3 weeks and a lot of patients like to stay on for maintenance sessions after, 1-2x/month for 1-3 months. However, we realize that such a frequency may not be possible, so we are happy to work with you to ensure you are able to get the maximum care and maximum results. If your surgeon is unfamiliar with the benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage following surgical procedures, we are happy to share any information as well as send notes with progress updates as well as anything we may notice, such as seromas or fibrotic tissue developing.
