Post Op Lymphatic Massage
Support comfort and swelling management with lymphatic massage as part of your recovery plan in Beverly Hills, CA.
Common conditions we treat
Many patients choose lymphatic massages after their surgical treatments to support recovery, improve skin quality, and accelerate their healing and results. Dr. Lee evaluates each post-op patient individually to develop the right treatment approach.
Post Op Swelling
Swelling after surgery that can make recovery feel slow. Lymphatic massage supports drainage and helps reduce puffiness more comfortably.
Fluid Retention
Fluid buildup that contributes to heaviness and tightness during healing. Gentle techniques encourage circulation and smoother recovery.
Fibrosis Prevention
Firmness or early scar tissue changes that can occur after liposuction and contouring. Massage can help soften tissue and improve contour over time.
Lymphatic massage is often recommended after certain body contouring procedures to support swelling reduction and comfort. We coordinate timing and frequency based on your surgery and healing stage.
- Are recovering from a procedure and want supportive care for swelling and fluid retention.
- Feel tightness or congestion and want gentle, guided drainage techniques.
- Have clearance from your surgical team to begin post op massage at the right time.
- Prefer a plan that supports comfort, mobility, and smoother healing progress.
- Understand this is an adjunct service and results depend on your surgery, timeline, and aftercare.

Great communication
Dr. Lee and Michelle are the absolute best. I am honestly amazed at how great communication and care have been. I initially saw Dr. Lee for a mole removal on my face (which went perfectly and I have absolutely no scar) and for a neck tightening treatment, and he actually recommended a different treatment than I had in mind that worked exactly how I hoped (he did j-plasma renuvion). I was so happy he understood what I really wanted and knew the best way to achieve it. My jawline looks so much better!
My post-care was also fantastic. Michelle has checked in on me regularly and we have done a few lymphatic massages to help my neck heal which have worked great. She has been so flexible with scheduling and is just a lovely, friendly person.
Highly recommend Dr. Lee. Just a great experience all around!
Rejuvenated
After receiving Dysport treatment for my crow's feet and undergoing the Heavenly Peel, I experienced incredible results. Prior to these treatments, my skin and face appeared dull, but afterwards, I felt rejuvenated. The combination restored my natural complexion, diminishing acne marks and pigmentation. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Johnson Lee to anyone seeking a revitalizing experience.
No scar
Deeply impressed with Dr. Lee.
I had two prior consultations with dermatologists regarding a bump on my forehead. Neither one seemed to have a clue how to deal with it. They both stated that it would require surgery and leave a scar. Both stated that the scar would look worse than the bump.
Dr. Lee took a different path. He gave me an injection and within a week the entire bump was gone. Incredibly precise, because not only was the bump gone, but it didn't crater either. No surgery, no scaring. Fantastic job.
Further, his assistant was extremely polite and attentive. Overall, I wish I could give more than 5 stars.
Natural Botox
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Lee for a Botox treatment, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and results. From the moment I stepped into the clinic, I was impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and professional, making me feel comfortable throughout the entire process.
Dr. Lee took the time to understand my concerns and expectations, carefully explaining the procedure and what I could expect from the treatment. His attention to detail and willingness to answer all my questions reassured me that I was in good hands.
So reassuring
I had an incredibly positive experience with Dr. Lee. He dedicated ample time to me, ensuring I felt at ease about the procedure. He patiently navigated me through every step and answered all my questions making me feel more confident in my decision. I'm thrilled with the results!
True Artist
I am very happy I was referred to Dr. Lee by my close friend! I am a firm believer in choosing doctors that you like and feel comfortable with. Glad to say Dr. Lee was likable from the moment we met. He not only has a great personality but he is a true artist. He took his time with me, made sure to discuss all my concerns and made me feel safe. On top of that, he did an outstanding job! So natural, which is what I wanted. I highly recommend him if you want a doctor you can trust and who knows what he's doing. I'll back 1000%
Youthful glow
Dr. Lee is a true artist! He's my go to for preventative wrinkles with dysport and his famous HeavenLee peel. My skin and face continues to look so youthful and glowy thanks to him! He truly cares about your goals and takes his time going over everything in detail. Highly recommend him to everyone!
Attention to detail
I came to Dr. Johnson Lee for a scar revision. He was wonderful and paid extremely close attention to detail. I was looking to get rid of a 15 year old scar that has been bothering me. The results of the scar revision were beyond my expectations and I could not be happier. He made me feel comfortable and took the time to answer all my questions. Dr. Johnson is incredibly talented, professional, friendly, and I strongly recommend him.
Genius with scalpel
A few years ago I started going to Dr. Lee for regular actor maintenance things. Mainly Fillers & Botox. I knew he was great at that since he's so highly-recommended. Last year, though, I had Mohs surgery that left me with an irregular fold between my eyebrows and I was really unhappy with it. When I went to Dr.Lee recently for routine things I asked if there was anything he could do regarding "scar revision," and he suggested surgery, which I agreed to do. I just had my stitches out and I can already tell that his work was AMAZING. He left the area between my eyebrows looking better than it has ever looked. He was really humble about it when I told him how happy I was, so I wanted to make sure to spread the word that Dr. Lee is a genius with a scalpel and he will be the first place I go if I feel I may need any future tweaks.
Trusted Care
I had a really great experience with Dr Lee. He spent a lot of time with me and made me feel comfortable about the procedure. I was definitely hesitant to move forward at first, but Dr. Lee guided me through everything and made me feel confident that I was making the right decision. I am very happy with the outcome and now have a doctor that I trust.
Natural results
I recently had a procedure with Dr. Lee and couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final follow-up, Dr. Lee and the entire team were professional, attentive, and caring. Especial mention to Michelle that was always available when needed. The surgery went smoothly, and the results are natural and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Dr. Lee for anyone seeking exceptional plastic surgery care.
Above and beyond
I could not be happier with the work Dr. Lee has done for me. From day one, he made me feel heard, supported, and genuinely cared for. He’s not just skilled—he’s the best doctor in the city, and it shows in both his results and his compassion.
He listened to every concern, gave honest advice, and checked in on me after surgery to make sure I was healing well. That level of care is rare, and it meant so much to me.
His office is beautiful and welcoming, and his staff is incredibly kind. I’m truly grateful for Dr. Lee—he went above and beyond for me, and I feel so lucky to have been in his hands.
Exceptional care
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Lee and his entire team. From start to finish, they were incredibly friendly, supportive, and communicative. I always felt comfortable, informed, and genuinely cared for at every step.
My procedure was quite complex and not something that could be easily addressed, but Dr. Lee’s expertise truly made magic. The results are beyond anything I expected, and I’m so grateful for his skill, precision, and the confidence he brings to his work.
The whole team is warm, professional, and always available to answer questions. I never felt rushed, and they guided me through the entire process with so much patience and reassurance.
If you’re looking for a surgeon who combines exceptional talent with kindness and outstanding care, I couldn’t recommend Dr. Lee and his team more.
Highly recommend
I had a great experience here. The staff was very friendly, the place is very professional and hospitable but most importantly Dr. Lee was very informative and made the process fast and comfortable with great results! Highly recommend.

Patient and thorough
I went to Dr. Lee to get a pore of winer removed (it's an enlarged pore) that was sitting on my forehead. He was very patient with me and answered all my questions. Made sure I felt comfortable with the procedure before moving forward and talked me through it every step of the way. He checked in on me on the weekend and his office was quick to respond to any follow-up questions I had. I would recommend him if you are looking for a specific procedure and want someone who has patience and expertise.
Questions
Find answers to what matters most before your procedure
Follow your surgeon’s instructions, wear any recommended compression garments, stay hydrated, and avoid strenuous activity unless your surgical team has cleared it.
Many patients use lymphatic massage as part of recovery to support comfort and swelling management. Results vary, and it should complement, not replace, your surgeon’s aftercare instructions.
Post-op lymphatic massage is designed to be gentle. Some tenderness can be normal during early healing, but sessions should not feel aggressively painful. Let your provider know if anything feels too intense.
There isn’t a single standard schedule. The best cadence depends on your procedure, swelling pattern, and comfort. We typically recommend a plan and adjust based on how you respond.
Timing depends on your procedure and how you’re healing. Most patients start only after they are cleared by their surgeon. We can coordinate sessions around your post-op timeline and follow-up visits.
