What Is
Lymphatic Drainage?

Your lymphatic system carries extra fluid and waste away from tissues. After surgery, injury or hard exercise, fluid can build up and cause swelling and heaviness. FlowPresso sessions use gentle, rhythmic air compression to help move that fluid along.

Lymphatic drainage may support:

  • Reduced swelling after surgery

  • Recovery after sports and exercise

  • Circulation

  • A feeling of lightness and relaxation

  • Overall wellness and recovery

Lymphatic drainage supports recovery; it does not replace your surgeon’s instructions. After surgery, keep following all guidance about garments, activity and follow-up visits.

What to Expect During Your FlowPresso Session

Before your first session, our team reviews your health history and, if you recently had surgery, confirms your surgeon has cleared you for compression therapy.

Your Session

Here is what a typical session looks like:

  • Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment.

  • You lie back and relax while the FlowPresso applies gentle, rhythmic pressure.

  • Drink water before and after your session.

  • Tell our team about recent surgery, swelling, pain or any medical condition.

  • Let us know about any blood clots or circulation problems.

  • Most people return to their day right after a session.

Many patients describe the session as deeply relaxing.

Who Is a Candidate for Lymphatic Drainage?

Lymphatic drainage may suit adults recovering from surgery or exercise, or anyone looking for a relaxing recovery treatment.

People often ask about lymphatic drainage after:

  • Liposuction or body contouring

  • Tummy tuck or mommy makeover

  • Other cosmetic surgery, once cleared by their surgeon

  • Sports, training or long days on their feet

  • Travel or long periods of sitting

Wellness sessions may be considered by people interested in recovery, relaxation and overall wellness.
Who May Need Additional Evaluation?

Compression therapy is not right for everyone. Tell your provider if you have:

  • A current or past blood clot (DVT)

  • Heart failure or other heart conditions

  • An active infection or open wounds

  • Pregnancy

  • Recent surgery without your surgeon’s clearance

  • Another significant medical condition
