    Do You Really Need Lymphatic Massages After Plastic Surgery? | Kathleen Lisson

    Lymphatic drainage massages are one of the most talked-about parts of plastic surgery recovery… but are they actually necessary? In this episode of Big Butts No Lies, Mavi sits down with lymphedema specialist Kathleen Lisson to break down everything patients need to know about post-operative lymphatic massage. With nearly two decades of experience working alongside top plastic surgeons, Mavi knows recovery can be just as important as the surgery itself. Kathleen explains how the lymphatic system works, why swelling happens after procedures like liposuction, and how proper lymphatic drainage can help reduce swelling, prevent fibrosis, and support healing. They also talk about common misconceptions about post-op massages — including why they should never be painful, when patients should start them, and simple things patients can do at home to support their lymphatic system. If you're planning plastic surgery or currently recovering, this episode will help you understand how lymphatic drainage actually works and whether it's something you really need.
