From Surgery to Recovery: Lymphatic Drainage Massage by Monica Skalsky, Trusted by Dr. Michael Hill
Dr. Michael Hill of Renuance in Murrieta, CA
Choosing the right plastic surgeon is only one part of preparing for cosmetic surgery. Recovery also requires planning, patience, and following the post-operative instructions provided by your surgical team.
For some patients of Dr. Michael Hill, MD, PhD, FACS, of Renuance Cosmetic Surgery Center in Murrieta, that recovery plan may include professional lymphatic drainage massage.
Dr. Hill has referred post-surgical patients to Wrthit for mobile lymphatic drainage care during recovery, allowing patients to receive gentle, individualized support without having to travel for another appointment.
About Dr. Michael Hill and Renuance
Dr. Michael Hill is a board-certified plastic surgeon at Renuance Cosmetic Surgery Center in Murrieta, California.
His extensive background includes medical and scientific training, years of surgical experience, and recognition within the field of aesthetic surgery.
But successful cosmetic surgery isn't only about what happens in the operating room. Recovery continues for weeks and sometimes months afterward, and each patient's post-operative needs can be different.
When lymphatic drainage massage is appropriate for one of his patients, Dr. Hill has referred patients to Wrthit for professional mobile care.
Why Post-Surgery Lymphatic Drainage May Be Recommended
Procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck, BBL, mommy makeover, and breast surgery can involve significant swelling and changes within the tissues during recovery.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle technique designed to encourage the movement of lymphatic fluid.
Depending on the procedure and the surgeon's individual recovery protocol, lymphatic drainage massage may be recommended as part of post-operative care to help support comfort and fluid movement while the body heals.
Lymphatic drainage should always complement—not replace—the instructions and medical care provided by your surgeon.
Why Mobile Post-Surgery Care Matters
The first days and weeks following cosmetic surgery aren't always an easy time to travel.
Patients may be dealing with swelling, compression garments, limited mobility, fatigue, drains, or simply the discomfort of getting in and out of a vehicle.
Wrthit's mobile model allows professional lymphatic drainage care to come directly to the patient's home.
Our therapists arrive with the supplies needed for the session so patients can focus on their recovery rather than another trip across town.
Meet Monica Skalsky, Founder of Wrthit
Monica Skalsky, C-MLD, CMT (CAMTC #33056) is the Founder of Wrthit and has worked in massage therapy for more than 30 years.
Her professional background includes clinical massage, sports massage, oncology massage, massage therapy education, and specialized training in Manual Lymphatic Drainage.
After increasingly working with clients recovering from cosmetic surgery, Monica developed Wrthit's approach to post-surgical lymphatic care around something she felt was essential: recovery should never feel like an assembly line.
Today, that philosophy continues through The Wrthit Way™.
Every Wrthit client begins with an individualized recovery plan, and Wrthit's therapists are personally trained and mentored to provide the gentle, thoughtful care expected throughout the company.
Surgeon-Led Recovery, Supported at Home
The surgeon and lymphatic therapist have very different roles in a patient's recovery.
Your surgeon remains responsible for your medical and surgical care. Wrthit's role is to provide professional lymphatic drainage massage when it is appropriate and consistent with your surgeon's recommendations.
That distinction matters.
Good post-operative care isn't about replacing one provider with another. It's about having qualified professionals stay within their respective scopes while supporting the same goal: helping you navigate recovery safely and comfortably.
For patients referred by Dr. Hill, Wrthit is honored to be one part of that recovery team.
