Body Lymphatic
Drainage

The cornerstone of post-operative recovery. A slow, low-pressure protocol that moves interstitial fluid out of trapped tissue and reintroduces it to the lymphatic system — reducing swelling, limiting fibrosis, and easing the path back to your final result.

Common Questions

Body Drainage, Answered

For most procedures, 48 hours is the earliest. Some surgeons prefer 72 hours; we'll follow your surgeon's instruction. If you're more than 48 hours post-op and haven't started drainage yet, it's not too late — come in as soon as you can.
Lymphatic drainage is the lightest-pressure modality in bodywork. Most clients describe it as the opposite of painful — a release rather than a push. If you're sore, we work around it.
Typical recovery protocols run 10 – 20 sessions over 12 – 16 weeks. We plan your cadence at the first visit and adjust based on how your body responds. You will never be booked into sessions you don't need.
Lymphatic drainage for post-operative cosmetic recovery is typically not insurance-covered. We can provide a receipt suitable for HSA/FSA submission. Some clients with medically necessary lymphedema may have coverage — contact us to discuss.
Yes, for post-operative body drainage we offer in-home visits within Greater Los Angeles for the first two weeks after surgery. $100 within a 10-mile radius, $200 beyond. Book via the contact page to coordinate.
Yes. We're in the heart of Beverly Hills' plastic-surgery corridor — within a half-mile of many of the city's cosmetic surgeons and under a mile from Cedars-Sinai. The short distance makes the frequent visits of early recovery easy to keep.
Watch Juanita Explain

Why Drainage After Surgery Isn't Optional

Educational content from Juanita's Instagram, alongside real treatment footage from the studio shared with client consent. Lymphatic massage supports the recovery experience and is not a substitute for the medical care your surgical team provides.

When you get surgery, you come and get your lymphatic massages. The goal is to make sure that you heal properly, you are progressing, that you don't have any complications.

In The Surgical Corridor

Minutes From Your Surgeon

Lymphyx sits at 9150 Wilshire Boulevard, in the heart of Beverly Hills’ plastic-surgery corridor — within a half-mile of many of the city’s cosmetic surgeons (some just a few blocks away) and under a mile from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. That proximity matters most in the first two weeks after surgery, when drainage is needed every day or two and a long drive is the last thing you want. Clients come to us straight from procedures across Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and the LA Westside — often the same week they’re discharged.

"I found Juanita on TikTok while searching for a solution to my stubborn post-lipo fibrosis from a hardened sedona. After feeling like nobody else could help me with these complications, finding her was a lifesaver. Booking was seamless, and her office is absolutely stunning I felt right at home immediately. Juanita is so kind, funny, and warm that the appointment flew by. She's also extremely knowledgeable about post surgery care and complications. She even took extra time to ensure she hit every single spot. I booked a few more sessions because i'm definitely coming back!"

"After my liposuction, I was looking for a specialized recovery clinic in the Wilshire and Doheny area that truly understood the nuances of post-op care. I found Lymphyx at 9150 Wilshire Blvd and, after hearing glowing recommendations from several Beverly Hills plastic surgeons, I decided to invest in her $900 package for 5 sessions. It was the best investment I made for my healing process.<br>Juanita, who has 15 years of experience, is incredibly skilled and maintains a pristine, serene clinic that felt both professional and safe. Booking through her Square system was straightforward, and the automated reminders were a lifesaver during the early 'post-op brain' phase of my recovery.<br><br>I started my sessions during the critical Stage 1 recovery window. The focus was on Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) to prevent seroma formation and address early signs of fibrosis around my incision sites. Juanita expertly adjusted the pressure based on my tissue density and compression garment needs, providing a level of clinical detail I hadn't found with general therapists.<br><br>The results were measurable—each session brought a visible reduction in post-surgical edema and a noticeable increase in my range of motion. For anyone in the greater LA area looking for a technical, high-level approach to healing, the skill provided in Juanita's packages is truly unmatched. I’m so glad I chose her for my post-surgical journey."

"The place has a clean, calm and peaceful atmosphere. Juanita was so friendly, very knowledgeable and gives great conversation! I got the body sculpting done and she had me leaving looking snatched! I will definitely be back as a re-occurring guest!"

"Juanita is absolutely amazing. Her hands are healing in every sense of the word. I had arm lipo and began my post-op massages with her on day 4, and I truly believe my recovery went as smoothly and quickly as it did because of her. She made me feel comfortable, supported, and cared for throughout the process. I’m beyond thankful for her and highly recommend her to anyone recovering from surgery."

"Juanita is the best, full stop. She is absolutely imperative to anyone who is looking for postoperative care. I had 360 Lipo and a BBL and she went above and beyond helping me with my swelling. She also taught me how to properly use post care garments and how to get the most out of my postop care to get the best results. It’s been two years since my surgery and I still come see her, and I swear I look 10 lbs thinner every time I leave her. She is kind and caring and patient and funny and just a joy to be around. I cannot recommend her more."
