Treatment overview and components
Post-Op Lipo Massage Post-Op Body Recovery combines gentle lymphatic drainage techniques with non-invasive post-surgical technologies to reduce inflammation, support circulation, and minimize scar tissue formation. The service is designed to support healing and can help accelerate visible results by up to 50%, though individual outcomes vary and are not guaranteed.
Each session is 60 minutes total: 50 minutes of hands-on therapy plus 10 minutes of preparation. Single sessions are priced at $140, and a series of six sessions is $700. For best results we recommend scheduling treatments 2–3 times per week during the first month after surgery, with surgeon clearance.
What to expect during sessions
Therapists work within post-surgical precautions, using light, deliberate techniques tailored to your sensitivity and stage of healing. Expect a quiet, private session where pressure and timing are adjusted for comfort; practitioners focus on circulation and fluid movement rather than deep tissue work, and will pause or modify treatment if you experience discomfort.
Studio Chique schedules appointments to accommodate commuters and families: easy after-work and midday slots near Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood and Brookland-CUA Metro stations, plus flexible early-morning and evening options. Plan around local errands or visits to the U.S. National Arboretum or Union Market to make recovery care convenient.
Factors that shape recovery
How much a session helps depends on surgical type, your own healing response, timing of treatment, and adherence to your surgeon’s aftercare. Frequency matters: more regular sessions in the early weeks support drainage and swelling control, while missed appointments can reduce the cumulative benefit of a series.
Local climate and lifestyle also influence swelling and comfort—Washington’s humid summers can prolong fluid retention, so we consider seasonal effects when planning care. Travel time, work schedules, and access to recommended follow-up care are practical constraints that shape an individualized treatment plan.
