Yes, when cleared by your surgeon. Our therapists are trained in post-op lymphatic techniques specifically for BBL and liposuction patients. Treatments safely reduce swelling, manage fluid, and support healing; timing and protocol are personalized to your procedure and recovery status.

Timing varies. We recommend surgeon clearance before starting; many clients begin within 48–72 hours to the first two weeks post-op. Your therapist will assess healing, bruising, and drainage to create a safe, effective schedule tailored to your recovery needs.
