Understanding Post-Surgical Fibrosis (“Fibroids”)
After procedures such as liposuction or tummy tuck, some patients may develop fibrous nodules, commonly referred to as “fibroids.” These are small, firm, and sometimes painful lumps that appear under the skin, most often in the abdominal area.
They form when:
- Lymphatic fluid is not properly drained and hardens within tissues
- Scar tissue builds up unevenly during healing
- Inflammation is not managed effectively in the early recovery phase
How Lymphatic Drainage Helps
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is one of the most effective ways to prevent and treat post-surgical fibrosis:
- Stimulates circulation to keep fluids moving and avoid hardening. Reduces inflammation and discomfort tissue builds up unevenly during healing
- Softens existing fibrotic tissue, making the skin smoother
- Enhances the overall surgical result by improving contour and texture
■ Regular lymphatic drainage sessions after surgery significantly reduce the risk of fibrosis and help patients achieve a safer, more comfortable, and more aesthetic recovery
Lymphedema vs. Lipedema
| Lymphedema | Lipedema |
|---|---|
| A condition caused by damage or obstruction in the lymphatic system, leading to fluid build-up. | A chronic disorder of fat distribution, almost exclusively in women, unrelated to lymphatic obstruction. |
| Main Symptoms: Swelling (often asymmetrical) Heaviness, tightness, discomfort Skin thickening in advanced stages | Main Symptoms: Symmetrical fat accumulation (hips, thighs, legs, sometimes arms) Tenderness, easy bruising, pain to touch Feet and hands usually not affected |
|
Cause: Congenital (primary) Acquired after surgery, radiation, or infection |
Cause: Likely hormonal and genetic factors |
How Lymphatic
Drainage Helps
In Lymphedema:
- Stimulates lymphatic flow to reduce swelling
- Improves mobility and comfort
- Prevents skin complications and infections
In Lipedema:
- Reduces pain, tenderness, and heaviness
- Improves circulation and decreases fluid retention
- Supports comfort and quality of life (does not remove lipedema fat)
■ Manual lymphatic drainage is a valuable therapy in both conditions, improving symptoms, enhancing circulation, and supporting overall well-being.

Lymphatic Drainage for Patients on
Weight-Loss Medications
Why it matters
Medications such as Mounjaro, Tirzepatide, or Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) can help patients lose weight quickly. While this has major health benefits, rapid weight loss often brings side effects on circulation, skin, and tissue health, including:
- Fluid retention and swelling in certain areas
- Loose skin and reduced elasticity
- Sluggish lymphatic system due to sudden body changes
- Fatigue and feeling of heaviness
How Lymphatic Drainage Helps
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle yet powerful therapy that supports the body during rapid weight changes:
- Detox & Circulation: Stimulates lymph flow to eliminate toxins and reduce bloating
- Skin Health: Improves elasticity, firmness, and helps prevent sagging skin
- Metabolism Support: Boosts circulation, improving energy and recovery
- Wellness Balance: Promotes relaxation, reduces inflammation, and enhances overall well-being
Ideal For
- Patients on GLP-1 medications (Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy, Tirzepatide, etc.)
- Individuals experiencing rapid or significant weight loss
- Those looking to maintain body contour, skin quality, and energy during their transformation
■ Lymphatic drainage is not just for post-surgery—it’s a valuable tool for anyone going through big body changes, helping them feel lighter, healthier, and more confident.
