Gentle drainage for swelling, stiffness, and early recovery.
Miami Beach is where many of the surgeons are. The Collins Avenue corridor from South Beach through Mid-Beach to Bal Harbour holds a dense run of cosmetic surgery practices, and Mount Sinai Medical Center sits at 4300 Alton Road. If you are recovering in a beachfront hotel or a short-term rental a few blocks from your surgeon, the last thing a swollen body needs on day three is a drive across the causeway for a massage. Bodied in MIA sends FL Licensed LMTs with post-op experience to your Miami Beach room for gentle manual lymphatic drainage, with a published price, 30-minute post-op sessions and technique that works around your compression garment, drains and incisions: comfort and fluid support, not medical treatment, wound care or a substitute for your surgeon's instructions.
Post-op first
Sessions are planned around cosmetic surgery recovery, compression garments, drains, incisions, swelling, and your surgeon's instructions.
Mobile care
Your therapist travels to homes, hotels, Airbnbs, and recovery locations with a professional table and session supplies.
Clear pricing
Book one appointment or plan a multi-session protocol. Bundles help keep the swelling window consistent.
Safety boundaries
Massage does not replace your surgeon. We pause when symptoms need medical review before bodywork.
Post-op drainage vs. general massage.
Best fit in the first two weeks after lipo, BBL, tummy tuck or mommy makeover
Bodied mobile post-op MLD
An FL Licensed LMT with post-op experience comes to your Miami Beach hotel, rental or recovery house. Light, procedure-aware technique around drains, incisions and your compression garment; a published price; and clear rules for when to stop and call your surgeon.
Built for wellness and contouring, not fresh incisions
Miami Beach detox or sculpting spa
Miami Beach has detox and body-sculpting spas, and some list a post-op or mobile option too. A wellness session is usually 60 minutes and built for a healthy body. Before booking any provider for a fresh surgery, ask how they handle drains, garments, incision boundaries and pressure limits in the first week, and whether the price is published.
Convenient when your practice schedules it for you
Surgeon's-office add-on
Some Miami practices offer in-office lymphatic massage, sometimes from a low per-session price. Sessions follow clinic hours and mean a trip to the office on a swollen day. If your surgeon's office handles it, use it; if it does not, or you are in a hotel, a mobile visit saves the drive.
How a mobile session works.
Your Miami Beach hotel, rental or recovery house
Your FL Licensed LMT arrives with a professional massage table and the session supplies. You stay in your room: a South Beach or Mid-Beach hotel, a short-term rental in North Beach or Surfside, a condo in Bal Harbour, or a recovery house. Tell us the building name when you book.
Front desk, valet and elevator sorted first
Miami Beach hotels and condo towers mean a front desk, valet or garage parking and an elevator ride with a table. Your coordinator confirms building access, parking and the room before the therapist leaves, so nobody is on the phone with the lobby on a swollen day. Ask about any travel or parking charge for your Miami Beach address when you book.
Planned around your surgeon's follow-ups
If your surgeon is on Collins Avenue or Alton Road, your first-week follow-ups are a few blocks from your room. We set the massage window around those visits, garment changes, drain checks and rest, and we move it when your surgeon moves you.
Have three things ready
Your surgeon's written post-op instructions, your compression garment (it goes back on as instructed), and a quiet, cool room with space beside the bed for the table. Drink water beforehand. If you have drains, tell us when you book so the therapist plans around them.
What happens at a mobile lymphatic drainage visit.
Send your procedure, surgery date and building
Use the booking form or call (305) 833-4151. Tell us your procedure, your surgery date, and the hotel, rental or recovery house in Miami Beach where you are staying. We hold the first visit for the day your surgeon clears you.
Access is sorted before the therapist leaves
Front desk, valet or garage parking, elevator and room are confirmed ahead of time. Ask about any travel or parking charge for your Miami Beach address when you book.
Your therapist sets up beside the bed
An FL Licensed LMT arrives with a professional massage table and the session supplies and sets up in your room. You do not leave the building.
A 30-minute, light-pressure session
Slow, rhythmic strokes guide fluid toward working lymph nodes. Pressure is light, not deep tissue, and the therapist works around incisions, drains and your compression garment instructions. Say so straight away if anything hurts.
Garment back on, next visit set around your follow-up
Your compression garment goes back on as your surgeon instructed, and the next visit is set around your Collins Avenue or Alton Road follow-up appointments and rest.
Not sure a Collins Avenue hotel is the right place to heal?
Bodied in MIA's recovery suites are a quiet residential setting about 25 to 35 minutes from Miami Beach, with transport back to the Beach for follow-up visits and lymphatic drainage included in the stay if you want it. A 3-night private suite is $1,625 on its own or $1,865 with massage included.
Recovering in Miami Beach: suites, transport and the Beach itselfA post-op lymphatic drainage schedule for a Miami Beach stay.
Most published research covers liposuction and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck); a BBL includes liposuction of the donor areas. Here is what those studies support, mapped onto a typical out-of-town stay on the Beach. Your surgeon's written instructions come first.
Before you fly in
Book the plan, not one visit
Ask your surgeon when massage can start and whether drains or garments change anything. Send us your procedure, surgery date and Miami Beach building so the first visit is held for the day you are cleared.
Days 2 to 5
First session in your room, once you are cleared
A systematic review of seven cosmetic-surgery studies found the best results when manual lymphatic drainage started early, on days 2 to 5 after surgery. Your surgeon still sets your start date.

Weeks 1 to 4
Two to three sessions a week
The usual post-op recommendation is manual lymphatic massage 2 to 3 times a week for the first 3 to 4 weeks, by a licensed massage therapist with post-op training. The studies in the review used 6 to 12 sessions in total. If you fly home before week 4, tell us and we plan the visits you can take here.
Months 1 to 6
Taper as swelling settles
Swelling after liposuction can take 3 to 6 months to fully resolve. One small study that started massage at week 6 (six visits over three weeks) saw more swelling go down than compression alone, but the difference was not statistically significant, so an earlier start is the better-supported plan.

Miami Beach lymphatic drainage questions.
Do you come to hotels and rentals in Miami Beach?
Yes. Bodied in MIA provides mobile lymphatic drainage massage throughout Miami Beach, including South Beach, Mid-Beach, North Beach, Surfside and Bal Harbour. The FL Licensed LMT brings a professional table and the session supplies to your hotel room, short-term rental, condo or recovery house. Visits are by appointment: call (305) 833-4151 and ask about a Miami Beach visit.
How much is a lymphatic drainage massage in Miami Beach?
A single mobile 30-minute session with Bodied in MIA is $120. Bundles are 3 sessions for $360, 5 sessions for $590, and 10 sessions for $1,190. Ask about any travel or parking charge for your Miami Beach address when you book.
What is the average cost of a lymphatic drainage massage?
Nationally, a 60-minute lymphatic drainage massage averages $100 to $150 and a 30-minute session $50 to $100 (Thervo cost guide). In Miami, one surgery center lists in-office lymphatic massage from $25, and the mobile marketplace Blys starts 60-minute visits at $149 plus a 10% processing fee. Bodied in MIA charges $120 for a 30-minute post-op session at your Miami Beach room.
Is there a travel fee for Miami Beach?
Ask when you book. Your coordinator confirms building access, parking and any travel or parking charge for your Miami Beach address before you pay, so there are no surprises on the day.
Is lymphatic drainage massage worth the money after surgery?
The evidence is moderate and positive for swelling. A systematic review of seven cosmetic-surgery studies found manual lymphatic drainage reduced postoperative swelling, with mixed results for pain and fibrosis and minimal side effects, and the best results when it started on days 2 to 5 and ran 6 to 12 sessions. It works alongside your compression garment and your surgeon's plan, not instead of them.
When should I start lymphatic drainage after surgery in Miami Beach?
When your surgeon clears you. The PRS Global Open review found the best results when sessions started on days 2 to 5 after surgery. Do not book massage if you have fever, worsening redness around incisions, shortness of breath, calf pain, unusual drainage, or sudden severe swelling; contact your surgeon or emergency care first.
How many sessions do I need after a BBL, lipo or tummy tuck?
Plan on 6 to 12. The studies in the PRS Global Open review used 6 to 12 sessions, and a review in Aesthetic Surgery Journal Open Forum describes the usual recommendation as 2 to 3 sessions a week for the first 3 to 4 weeks. At Bodied's published prices, 6 sessions is $710, 10 sessions is $1,190, and 12 sessions is $1,430. If you fly home before the plan ends, tell us and we plan the visits you can take here.
Where can I get the best lymphatic drainage massage in Miami Beach?
After surgery, look for five things: a Florida licensed massage therapist (check any licence free on the Florida Department of Health license verification portal), post-op experience, light pressure rather than deep tissue, a published price, and clear rules for when to stop and call your surgeon. Bodied in MIA meets all five: FL Licensed LMTs with post-op experience, light-pressure 30-minute post-op sessions planned around garments and drains, prices printed on this page, and a safety list for pausing. If you are in a hotel or rental in your first week, a therapist who comes to your room saves you the trip.
Is a Miami Beach spa lymphatic massage the same as post-op lymphatic drainage?
No. A spa lymphatic or detox massage is a general wellness service, usually 60 minutes, for a healthy body. Post-op lymphatic drainage is adapted for recent cosmetic surgery: lighter pressure, 30-minute sessions, and planning around healing tissue, drains, compression garments and your surgeon's clearance. Bodied in MIA's sessions are the second kind.
Can I do lymphatic drainage massage on myself after surgery?
Ask your surgeon first. Some surgeons teach gentle self-strokes for later in recovery; in the first weeks, with incisions, drains and a garment, most prefer a trained therapist and no pressure over healing areas. Never massage over an incision, a drain site or anywhere that is red, hot or newly swollen; those are reasons to call your surgeon, not to massage.
Do you work with patients of Collins Avenue and Mount Sinai surgeons?
Yes. Many of our patients have their surgery with Miami Beach-area surgeons. We schedule around your post-op appointments, wherever your surgeon's office is. We are not affiliated with any surgeon or hospital, and your surgeon's instructions always come first.
What if I would rather not recover in a Miami Beach hotel?
Bodied in MIA's recovery suites are in a quiet residential neighborhood about 25 to 35 minutes from Miami Beach, with transport back to the Beach for follow-up visits. Lymphatic drainage can be included in the stay, so there is nothing extra to arrange. The Miami Beach recovery page compares a hotel stay with a suite stay.
Does post-op lymphatic drainage hurt?
It should not. Proper manual lymphatic drainage uses very light, rhythmic pressure, not deep tissue work. Some tenderness is normal over healing areas, and a trained post-op therapist will adjust pressure and direction based on your comfort. If a session feels forceful or painful, that is a signal to stop and reassess.
Is lymphatic drainage massage medical treatment?
No. Bodied in MIA offers comfort-focused manual lymphatic drainage support, not medical treatment, diagnosis, wound care, drain removal or emergency care. Your surgeon's written instructions remain the rule for your recovery plan.
