When Should You Start Lymphatic Drainage After a Cosmetic Procedure?

One of the most common questions people ask is: “When should I start lymphatic drainage after a cosmetic procedure?”

The answer depends on individual recovery and the guidance provided by your medical provider. In general, many people choose to begin gentle lymphatic drainage during the early recovery phase, once they feel comfortable and their provider has cleared them for supportive care.

Early sessions are typically very gentle and focused on comfort and light circulation. Over time, as swelling decreases and the body feels more stable, sessions may become less frequent and shift into a maintenance or wellness routine.

Some clients start with two or three sessions per week and gradually reduce frequency as their body feels more balanced. Others prefer weekly or biweekly sessions depending on their comfort level and schedule.

If you are unsure when to start, it is always best to listen to your body and follow professional guidance. Lymphatic drainage is meant to support your recovery experience, not rush it.
