Post Op Massage for a More Comfortable Recovery
The weeks after a cosmetic procedure call for patience and the right support. Our post op massage is a fully manual treatment designed to help your body through recovery, using gentle, controlled movements that respect sensitive areas while encouraging comfort and a sense of lightness.
Many clients call it their post op lymphatic massage, since the technique is built on the principles of lymphatic drainage.
Why the Technique Matters
After surgery, the body often holds extra fluid, and the tissue can feel tight, swollen or tender. That’s why every movement in this post operative massage is slow, deliberate and adapted to where you are in your recovery. Pressure stays light around treated areas, and nothing is rushed: each post op massage lasts 1 hour and 25 minutes, so the entire body can be addressed with care. Learn more about manual lymphatic drainage and how it’s used to ease swelling.
Procedures Our Clients Recover From
This post surgery massage is commonly booked after procedures such as liposuction, tummy tucks, BBLs and other cosmetic body surgeries. Every recovery is different, so we always recommend following your surgeon’s guidance on when to begin and how often to come in.
Experience That Brings Peace of Mind
Recovery is a vulnerable time, and choosing the right therapist matters. Our post op massage sessions follow the approach of Yolanda Smith, a New Jersey licensed massage and bodywork therapist with more than 22 years of experience and a background as a Medical Assistant. In 2026, BusinessRate recognized Class Skin as a Top Lymph Drainage Therapist in New Jersey, and many Google reviews mention how our post-op care helped clients feel better during recovery.
Planning Your Sessions
Many clients schedule several post op massage sessions as they recover, adjusting the frequency as comfort improves. Wear loose clothing and bring any compression garment your surgeon recommended. To reserve your time, message us on WhatsApp or call (551) 373-1020, or browse our massage and facial services to see what can support you once you’ve healed.
