Post-op reality check 👇

Healing isn’t instant — and that’s okay.

✨ Swelling can take 6 months to 1 year to fully go away
✨ You may weigh more after surgery— it’s normal (hello, fluid buildup)
✨ Swelling can actually increase for up to 10 days post-op

Don’t let it mess with your mindset — your body is doing exactly what it needs to heal.

Here’s how to support your recovery beyond MLD:
📸 Take progress photos — you’ll see changes you might miss day to day
🩱 Wear your compression as directed — it helps reduce swelling and reduce pain
💧 Stay hydrated — your body needs it to flush out excess fluid

And most importantly…
Trust the process. Your results are coming — and they’ll be worth it. 💛

**How do you choose the right Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) therapist after surgery?**

Not all massage therapists are trained in post-op care — and that matters more than you think.

✨ Choose a provider who is trained in BOTH MLD and post-operative care
✨ MLD is NOT taught in standard massage school
✨ Your safety and recovery depend on proper technique

You researched your surgeon… now it’s time to research your MLD provider too.

And don’t wait until after surgery 👇
📅 Book your first 2–3 weeks of sessions in advance
📅 Just like your surgery, your recovery care should be planned ahead
📅 Booking early ensures your provider has availability when you need it most

Your results don’t just depend on the surgery — they depend on your recovery, too.

Manual lymphatic Drainage is NOT taught in massage school.
A weekend training is NOT enough
An online only class is NOT enough

Cleavers water- great for the lymphatic system this time of year. Tastes almost like cucumber water.
Directions: properly identify cleavers in your yard, rinse them, place in a jar with a lid add filtered water and place in fridge for 2- 12 hrs, drink and enjoy.

Lymphedema Awareness Month Day #22 🦋

Understanding Pneumatic Compression Pumps

Another treatment many people living with lymphedema use is a pneumatic compression pump. This device can be part of a home management routine to help move lymph fluid and manage swelling.

A pneumatic pump works by using a sleeve that wraps around the affected area, such as the arm, leg, or sometimes the trunk. The sleeve contains multiple chambers that inflate and deflate in a gentle sequence, creating a wave-like compression. This pressure helps encourage lymph fluid to move out of the swollen area and toward areas where the lymphatic system can better drain it.

These treatments are usually done while sitting or lying down, and sessions often last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on what a provider recommends. Many people use them once or twice daily as part of their routine.

It’s important to understand that a pneumatic pump is not meant to replace other treatments for lymphedema. Instead, it is typically used along with other parts of care, including:

• Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD)
• Compression bandaging or compression garments
• Skin care to reduce infection risk
• Gentle exercise to help stimulate lymph flow

For some people, pumps can help maintain progress made during therapy, especially after intensive treatment phases. They may also help reduce feelings of heaviness and tightness that can occur when lymph fluid builds up.

However, pumps must be used correctly and at the proper pressure settings. Improper use can sometimes push fluid into other areas of the body where it should not collect. That is why it’s important for people to receive guidance from a certified lymphedema therapist or healthcare provider before using one.

Managing lymphedema often requires a consistent daily routine and multiple treatment methods working together. For many patients, a pneumatic compression pump can be one helpful tool in supporting lymphatic flow and managing symptoms.🩵🦋

Don’t fall for the 10 package schemes and uncertified practitioners try to sell you- look for a certified practitioner someone that has had postoperative training that knows the issues that can happen with your tissues. Your sessions should be individualized just as your procedures were the amount of sessions you need will vary on your body and the procedures that you had 10 sessions may not be anywhere near enough or later in your recovery may be way too many.
