FAQ
Answers before the patient books.
The page answers the questions that usually cause hesitation: when to start, what it costs, whether it is safe, and what makes post-op MLD different from a regular massage appointment.
How do I book mobile lymphatic drainage in Miami?
Use the contact page or call Bodied in MIA with your procedure, surgery date, recovery location, and surgeon clearance timing. A coordinator confirms appointment availability, access details, and pricing before the session is booked.
What is lymphatic drainage massage after surgery?
Post-op lymphatic drainage is a light, rhythmic manual technique used after surgeon clearance to support comfort and fluid movement during recovery. It is not deep tissue massage, painful contouring, wound care, diagnosis, or medical treatment.
When should I start lymphatic drainage after BBL or lipo?
Timing depends on your surgeon, procedure, drains, incisions, swelling, and symptoms. Many patients are cleared within 24 to 48 hours, but your surgeon's written instructions control the plan.
How many lymphatic drainage sessions do I need?
There is no universal number. Many post-op patients plan several sessions across the first two weeks, then taper as swelling improves. Bodied in MIA offers single, 3-session, 5-session, and 10-session options so the schedule can match the recovery window.
Is this the same as a spa lymphatic massage?
No. Spa lymphatic massage is usually wellness-focused. Post-op MLD after cosmetic surgery has to account for recent surgical tissue, tenderness, compression garments, drains, incisions, and red flags that require surgeon review.
How much does lymphatic drainage massage cost?
A single mobile session starts at $120. Bundles include 3 sessions for $360, 5 sessions for $590, and 10 sessions for $1190.
Do you come to my hotel, Airbnb, or recovery suite?
Yes. Bodied in MIA provides mobile lymphatic drainage across Miami-Dade and Broward when the recovery location has practical access for a professional table setup.
Can lymphatic drainage replace my surgeon's care?
No. Bodied in MIA provides non-medical recovery support and manual lymphatic drainage. We do not diagnose, prescribe, treat wounds, remove drains, or replace licensed medical care.
What symptoms mean I should not book massage yet?
Fever, chills, shortness of breath, chest tightness, worsening redness, hot swelling, unusual drainage, calf pain, one-sided leg swelling, or sudden severe swelling should be reviewed by your surgeon or urgent care before massage.
