Our online course, designed for post-op recovery, swelling and lymphatic massage, teaches you how to prevent and get rid of fibrosis and swelling after plastic surgery — whether you're healing from Liposuction, a BBL, a Tummy Tuck, a Mommy Makeover or another procedure. You'll get a full explanation of how the lymphatic system works, what real Manual Lymphatic Drainage is, and how to find a properly certified lymphatic massage therapist.
Excessive painful swelling, lumps, bumps and fibrosis are all signs that your body is not healing properly and needs your help. Your massages should not be painful, fibrosis doesn't have to become permanent scar tissue, and swelling doesn't have to last months post-op.
In this course, we go over how to navigate the phases of post-op healing, the common things you may be doing after surgery — like using rollers on yourself at home — that cause swelling to increase and harden into fibrosis, what exactly is supposed to happen during your lymphatic drainage post-op massage, and how to know if the massages you're getting are real Manual Lymphatic Drainage.
If you're preparing for surgery with any surgeon, especially at Sonobello or Elite Body Sculpture, you already know they don't tell you much pre-op — and even less post-op. Sometimes the things they advise end up causing more swelling, which left untreated leads to fibrosis, turning a recovery that should take weeks into months. If we work with the lymphatic system instead of against it, fibrosis and swelling can go away in a matter of weeks.
The key to everything in your recovery is swelling! If yours won't go away, your massages are painful, or you need help finding a certified Lymphatic Drainage Therapist in your area, this course is for you. Controlling your swelling is what makes your recovery smooth, painless and quick.

Module 1
One of the most important things you'll learn is the purpose of swelling after surgery. Swelling is the reason your body can heal, but it can also be the reason behind those lumps and bumps after surgery.
We go over what exactly is swelling, why it happens, how to support your body's built in system for getting rid of it, as well as signs that your swelling isn't going away and causing complications.

Module 2
In this module you'll learn all about the science of the lymphatic system, which is the key to getting rid of your swelling.
Your body naturally gets rid of swelling on its own, so we go into why this might not be happening post surgery. We also go into what you're doing that may be causing your body to swell more than it needs to, how fibrosis after surgery develops from stagnant swelling, as well as why manual lymphatic drainage massage is the only massage you should be getting for the first 6 to 8 weeks.
It's super important for you to be armed with the science of your lymphatic system so you can understand how manual lymphatic drainage massage works.
We are manually dilating and pumping the lymphatic system, getting it to do its natural job of draining your body of excess swelling through your urine. We need to know how the lymphatic system works in order to tell the difference between a regular massage and manual lymphatic drainage.

Module 3
Learning the difference between manual lymphatic drainage massage and all other kinds of post-op massage, when to get each type of massage, and choosing the right therapist is a game changer for a smooth, speedy recovery and avoiding complications like fibrosis.
In this module we teach you about manual lymphatic drainage massage and everything you need to know about what happens in these sessions.
This includes learning what the sequence is supposed to be in order to work for swelling reduction, why the technique works for swelling, what it's supposed to feel like, when to start your sessions, how to direct your therapist during your sessions, as well as what shouldn't happen in these sessions that could cause complications.
These sessions should NEVER be painful, use rollers, machines, ice, heat, oil, deep pressure or involve fluid leaving your body (which is not legal for massage therapists to do in multiple states).

Module 4
Everyone loves to offer “Lymphatic Massage or post-op massage” but how do we know if they're actually certified in MLD, doing the right technique, or have experience with reducing excess swelling?
This is where you'll learn how to vet your manual lymphatic drainage therapist. Understanding what certifications they should have, what they should know based on their certifications, questions to ask your prospective therapist to make sure they're doing the massage correctly, as well as how to pick the best person for you based on your needs.
You want to choose a therapist that knows the proper MLD technique, how the lymphatic system mapping works, and how to work with the way your body naturally drains swelling after surgery. With the right MLD therapist, your body will be able to get rid of fibrosis and swelling, reabsorb excess swelling after surgery, prevent/ eliminate fibrosis, and speed up your recovery.

Bonus Module
When researching your surgery, you come across tons of my journey videos with everyone using products, tools and machines, trying to heal, but these things can be extremely painful, making swelling and fibrosis worse if not used properly.
Facebook groups, random Google rabbit hole searches, and other social media platforms like TikTok are not helpful places to go to in order to find the supplies that you actually need. None of these places have certified plastic surgery recovery specialists explaining why you need these supplies, how or when to use them.
Our bonus module busts some of the most common post-op supply myths like ice rollers and using heat, teaching you about the basic supplies you will need and what you won't need, as well as the difference between the generic, everyday version of these supplies versus the kind that will work for plastic surgery recovery.
