Lymphatic Massage in Biloxi, MS
Lymphatic Massage
If you’re feeling swollen, sluggish, or struggling through post-surgical recovery, your body may be asking for extra support. Lymphatic massage is a gentle yet highly effective therapy that helps your system do what it was designed to do: eliminate toxins, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing. At the practice of Michael Diaz, M.D., F.A.C.S. in Biloxi, MS, we include lymphatic massage as a key part of your recovery when you book body liposuction with us. Two sessions are automatically provided to support healing and maximize your results—because your comfort and outcome matter.
Unlike traditional massage, which focuses on deep muscle tissue, lymphatic massage works with the body’s natural detox system. It uses light, rhythmic strokes to gently guide lymphatic fluid toward drainage pathways, improving circulation and decreasing fluid buildup. It’s a non-invasive, calming experience with powerful healing effects—both physically and emotionally. This treatment is especially important after procedures like liposuction or body contouring, where swelling, bruising, and fluid retention are common. Lymphatic massage helps the body recover faster, feel better, and look smoother, preventing complications like fibrosis and uneven skin texture. For many clients, it becomes a vital part of their healing journey—a moment to breathe, relax, and let the body reset.
Whether you’re fresh out of surgery or simply looking to detox and recharge, this massage offers targeted relief and whole-body benefits. You’ll leave each session feeling lighter, calmer, and one step closer to your goals.

FAQ
What is a lymphatic massage and how does it support recovery?
Lymphatic massage is a specialized technique that uses gentle, rhythmic movements to encourage the flow of lymph fluid. This helps the body eliminate excess fluid, toxins, and cellular debris—essential after surgery, when inflammation and swelling slow healing. It reduces pressure, promotes circulation, and accelerates recovery.
How does a lymphatic massage feel during the session?
Unlike deep tissue massage, this experience is light, soothing, and calming. Many clients describe it as a therapeutic, meditative hour where they feel safe and deeply relaxed. There is no soreness or tension afterward—just a sense of ease and release.
Why is lymphatic massage recommended after liposuction?
Liposuction, while effective for body shaping, can cause bruising, swelling, and fluid buildup. Lymphatic massage helps flush that buildup out, improving comfort, reducing the risk of complications like fibrosis, and enhancing your final results by promoting smoother contours.
How many lymphatic massage sessions are typically needed after surgery?
We begin with two complimentary sessions for every surgical client. Depending on your healing process, your provider may recommend a full series—typically 3 to 10 treatments over several weeks. This helps maintain fluid drainage, support tissue recovery, and ensure long-term results.
Can lymphatic massage help if I haven’t had surgery?
Lymphatic massage is beneficial for anyone looking to detoxify, reduce puffiness, ease fatigue, or support their immune system. It’s a gentle, non-invasive way to give your body the support it needs to function at its best.
Is there any downtime or side effects from a lymphatic massage?
There’s no downtime. Most clients feel relaxed and lighter afterward. Occasionally, you may experience increased urination, which is a healthy sign your lymph system is working effectively. It’s safe, gentle, and ideal for almost every body type and wellness goal.
