Postoperative Lymphatic Wellness Treatment

Why Supportive Body Care is Critical Following Aesthetic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery recovery can bring visible swelling, bruising, tenderness, and a need for extra patience. Your surgeon is the authority on timing, restrictions, and all medical recovery decisions.

Once your surgeon clears you, Eva’s gentle non-medical body-care appointments are tailored around your instructions, comfort, and recovery timing. They complement—never replace—your medical team’s care and follow-up plan.

Surgery by definition involves trauma, bruising, and healing. Having expert care for swelling and bruising using lymphatic massage and just the right products can make all the difference. For me, Eva is that special provider with the 'healing touch'.

Real Patient Stories

From Surgery to Relief

"Last month I had a Quick Lift (lower face and neck lift). My surgeon offered two complimentary lymphatic drainage massages with Eva Claiborne. After one session with her, I booked four additional treatments! In addition to the treatments, she has a wealth of knowledge about the recovery process. I highly recommend Eva for postoperative patients who want the best outcomes."

"Post-op lymphatic massages with Eva were highly recommended by Dr. Trent Douglas and he was absolutely right. Eva helped get me through a very difficult time with fluid drainage. We are getting to a beautiful result about 1-month post-op. She truly knows what she is doing and will not rest until she gets a good result."

San Francisco, CA • Facial Surgery Patient

"I went to Eva post-surgery for lymphatic massages due to extra swelling and soreness. Before my first massage, I could hardly walk due to pain and could not move my arms much. She had me walking around much easier and suddenly I was able to lift my arms above my head! She has really helped speed up my healing."
