Why Some Women Are Not Wrthit Clients — And Why Skilled Lymphatic Drainage Matters After Surgery

Not every woman is ready for the level of care Wrthit provides — and that’s okay. Lymphatic drainage massage after cosmetic surgery is a specialty service that requires training, precision, and a deep understanding of the body. If any of the reasons below resonate, you might not be a Wrthit client… yet.
1. Price Is More Important to You Than Results
If your priority is finding the cheapest post-op massage you can book, Wrthit is not the right fit. Post-surgical lymphatic drainage massage is a technique that directly influences swelling, scar tissue formation, fibrosis, and how smoothly your body heals. Cheap, rushed, or inexperienced providers often work too deep, in the wrong direction, or without understanding fluid pathways — which can delay healing or make swelling worse.
At Wrthit, every session is intentional, gentle, and strategically targeted to help your body drain safely and correctly. You're investing to protect the results you paid thousands of dollars for — not to save a few dollars on the one step that can make or break your recovery.
2. You Don’t Value Your Body After Spending So Much on Surgery
If you believe the lymphatic part is optional or “just a massage,” Wrthit may not be your match. You’ve already committed financially and emotionally to changing your body through surgery — your lymphatic sessions are what help that investment settle, smooth, and heal correctly.
Skipping high-quality post-op care often leads to unnecessary swelling, discomfort, hardness, or uneven healing. The truth is: your body deserves the same level of attention after surgery as it did before. At Wrthit, we treat your post-op body with the precision and care it needs during this vulnerable time.
3. You Don’t Understand the Science Behind Lymphatic Drainage Massage
If you think lymphatic drainage is a regular massage or something you can replace with “self-massage,” then Wrthit might not be for you. True lymphatic drainage is based on anatomy, fluid pathways, and the natural rhythm of the lymphatic system. Most surgeons recommend a series of 10–12 lymphatic drainage sessions because the body heals in stages, and each session helps reduce swelling, improve mobility, and support the natural fluid pathways that guide your recovery.
Going too deep can damage healing tissues. Going too fast can overwhelm the system. Going in the wrong direction can push fluid into stagnant pockets.
At Wrthit, we use a structured, science-backed approach that supports your lymph nodes, reduces inflammation, and helps guide your body through the healing process the way it was designed to function.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is lymphatic drainage massage important after cosmetic surgery?
After surgery, your body naturally creates swelling and fluid as part of the healing process. Lymphatic drainage massage helps your body move that fluid gently and safely, which can reduce tightness, improve mobility, and support a smoother recovery experience. It’s not a deep massage — it’s a very specific technique that works with your lymphatic system.
How many lymphatic drainage sessions do I need after surgery?
Many surgeons recommend around 10–12 lymphatic drainage sessions after cosmetic surgery. The body heals in stages, and each session supports a different part of that process — reducing swelling, improving comfort, and helping your results settle more smoothly. Your surgeon may recommend a specific number based on your procedure.
What makes Wrthit different from other post-op massage providers?
Wrthit focuses specifically on post-operative lymphatic drainage, not general massage. Every session is gentle, intentional, and aligned with the natural flow of your lymphatic system. We also offer mobile sessions in select Southern California cities so you can heal in the comfort of your own home. Our work is based on clinical experience and respect for your surgeon’s recovery plan.
Is lymphatic drainage massage the same as a regular massage?
Not at all. Traditional massage works deeper into the muscles, which can be too aggressive for healing tissues after surgery. Lymphatic drainage uses very light, rhythmic movements that follow your body’s fluid pathways. It should feel gentle and soothing — not painful. Always check with your surgeon to make sure you're cleared for lymphatic work.
