POST-OP FAQS
WHY AM I STILL SWOLLEN 10-12 WEEKS AFTER SURGERY?
Swelling can last longer than expected — especially after procedures like tummy tucks, lipo, or BBL. Often, fluid becomes trapped between fibrotic bands or scar tissue, slowing your lymphatic flow. At Maison Papillon, we use medical lymphatic drainage and fibrosis release techniques to clear these blockages and restore fluid movement.
What is Fibrosis and how do you treat it?
Fibrosis is a hardened buildup of scar tissue or lymphatic stagnation that can form after surgery. You might notice lumps, tightness, or rippling under the skin. We address this through:
-
Manual fibrosis release
-
Lymphatic drainage
-
Sculpting and fascia-focused therapy
We specialize in gentle, effective treatments to soften fibrosis and improve contour without trauma to healing tissue.
Can you help with swelling from Ozempic, Wegovy, or GLP-1 medications?
Yes. These medications can cause lymphatic sluggishness, facial deflation (“Ozempic face”), or fluid retention. Our sessions supports detox, fluid reset, and body sculpting tailored to your unique hormonal and medication-related needs.
How many lymphatic drainage sessions will I need?
It depends on your surgery, how your body is healing, and your goals. Most post-op clients benefit from:
-
3–6 sessions during the first phase of healing
-
Ongoing monthly sculpting to refine contour and reduce residual swelling
We personalize your plan after a consultation or first session.
