Watch & Learn

From Juanita's Studio

Educational content from Juanita's Instagram and TikTok. Lymphatic massage supports the recovery experience and is not a substitute for the medical care your surgical team provides.

Six months of consistent post-op care after a Lipo 360 — from the first days home with drains to a result she's proud of. Finding the right post-op specialist matters as much as finding your surgeon.

What the early days after lipo really look like — bruising and swelling are a normal part of recovery. Gentle drainage, timed to your surgeon's plan, supports your body while everything settles.

This is what consistent, customized post-op care looks like over time. Every session is adjusted based on how your body is healing, where fluid is sitting, and how tissue is responding.

Six Treatments,
One Protocol

Each of these is offered as a standalone session or as part of a multi-week protocol designed at intake.

Compression & Fajas

The Other Half Of The Protocol

The massage moves fluid; even, consistent compression supports that work between sessions. That's why garment fitting happens here in the studio, as part of your protocol — not as an afterthought.

Fajas & Compression · By Appointment

Fitted To The Stage
You're Actually In

We carry Colombian CYSM compression — stage one and stage two, women's garments and the men's compression vest — measured and fitted in-studio, with foams and boards placed where compression needs to land. As swelling goes down we re-fit you, so the garment always matches the stage your body is in. Fittings are by appointment only — pickup in-studio, pricing confirmed at your fitting.

"I had such a wonderful experience with my post-surgery lymphatic massage. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely cared for and at ease. The therapist was incredibly gentle, knowledgeable, and attentive, taking the time to explain everything and make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire session. The massage itself made a huge difference—I left feeling noticeably less swollen, lighter, and just overall so much better in my body. Beyond the physical relief, there was also a sense of calm and reassurance that I didn’t realize I needed so much during recovery. If you’re navigating post-surgery healing, I can’t recommend this enough. It truly felt like an essential part of my recovery, and I’m so grateful for the level of care and attention I received."

"Juanita works wonders!! Three months after surgery I was in Swell Hell and I finally got relief after only a couple of sessions. She is knowledgeable and takes her time no rush no hurry just constant confidence and assurance that swelling is temporary and treatable. She understands the recovery process and is conscious of the aftercare and the pressure needed while listening to her client. The decor and place is lovely and comfortable. Parking is easy although typical BHills pricing.🤷‍♀️. All worth it. The overall experience is 5 star. Lymphatic massage is now part of my monthly (minimum) routine. Thanks Juanita!!"

Her work helped reduce my swelling and made a huge difference in my recovery, I felt better after every session. Her space is also very peaceful and calming, which makes the whole experience even more relaxing while you’re healing. Highly recommend if you want someone who truly knows how to help your body recover properly. Ps she also a very sweet person, she always lifts my mood when I’m down just an all around good lady ❤️❤️❤️❤️"

"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."

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.

Paying For Recovery

A Protocol Is 10 – 20 Sessions.
You Can Pay Over Time.

Most post-op protocols run 12 – 16 weeks, and the cost arrives at the same moment the surgery already has. Cherry lets you spread it into monthly payments, so the length of your protocol is decided by your recovery rather than your billing cycle. Checking your options takes about a minute and does not affect your credit score.

Before Your First Visit

Intake & Consent

New post-operative clients complete this once. It covers your procedure and date, your surgeon, any drains or compression you’re still wearing, and the consent we keep on file before hands-on work begins. Filling it in ahead of your appointment means your first session starts on the table rather than at the front desk.
