Peri-Operative Lymphatic Massage Therapy

We include a series of perioperative lymphatic massage therapy treatments with all of our surgical procedures to optimize recovery, which is yet another supplement to our partnership with patients on their self-improvement journey.

What Is Perioperative Therapy?

Perioperative therapy is a revolutionary manual technique that reduces recovery time, alleviates pain, eliminates swelling and bruising, softens scar tissue, and smoothes out lumps and bumps. We have been pleased to discover that this modified touch therapy technique also relieves postoperative depression and anxiety, increases our patient’s ability to sleep, enhances circulation, and helps the body repair itself following cosmetic surgery. Perioperative therapy helps chart out the path of recovery so that the conscious and physical aspects of the body can heal in unison.

Meet Your Perioperative Massage Therapist

Pam Peppard, our expert perioperative massage therapist, is trained specifically to treat plastic surgery patients and is here to support your recovery journey after cosmetic surgery. Using specialized light touch therapy, Pam helps reduce swelling, minimize bruising, and accelerate the healing process. Her expertise extends beyond massage; Pam educates each patient on exercises, stretches, and postural techniques tailored to enhance recovery and prevent postural issues related to surgery. Pam’s compassionate approach and extensive training make her an invaluable part of the team, ensuring you feel supported and informed throughout your healing process.

Patient Testimonial

I love Pam! During the massage, the stiffness of my body already started to loosen up and feel better. Amazing! She also is great at sharing knowledge and what I can do at home to continue healing.

Lymphatic Therapy for Plastic Surgery

At Colorado Plastic Surgery Center, perioperative therapy is one of the ways we bring innovation to the patient experience. We’ve created a dedicated, soothing space specifically for this therapy, featuring a comfortable massage table with warm sheets and blankets. Soft, relaxing music completes the serene environment, allowing you to fully unwind and focus on healing.

We include one or more perioperative lymphatic therapy sessions, depending on the type of cosmetic surgery you undergo, in all of our surgeries. Some of our patients find the benefits so valuable that they choose to continue with additional perioperative massage therapy sessions throughout their recovery to support healing and enhance their overall well-being. Subsequent lymphatic massage therapy treatments can be scheduled at any time through one of our dedicated patient liaisons.

There is no question that therapeutic and lymphatic massage can be helpful in the peri-operative period. Our patients’ experience with peri-operative massage therapy has been fantastic. I definitely recommend this service to all of my cosmetic surgery patients.
