How a Lymphatic Drainage Appointment in Colorado, Colorado Works: Prep and 3 Steps

What to Know Before You Book

This kind of appointment is for people who are healing after liposuction. They want help with swelling and comfort. The work is gentle and focused on the soft tissues. According to MedlinePlus, massage therapy is a treatment in which the soft tissues of the body are kneaded, rubbed, tapped, and stroked. It may help people relax and relieve stress and pain. Here is what people in Colorado, Colorado should know about lymphatic drainage appointment, with practical notes from Medical Massage Soft Tissue Services.

Timing matters. Your surgeon sets the rules for when bodywork can start. Ask them first. Some people begin soon after surgery. Others wait longer. The right answer depends on your procedure, your healing, and your surgeon’s advice.

When should you schedule your first lymphatic drainage appointment?

Call when your surgeon gives the go-ahead. Don’t wait until swelling feels out of control. Early planning gives you more choice of appointment times. Medical Massage Soft Tissue Services offers a free 20 minute complimentary consultation. You can talk through your needs and get a plan made for you. Regular appointment times are Monday through Friday at 10am or 2pm.

How to Prepare for Your Appointment

Good prep is simple. It mostly comes down to comfort and clear information. A short checklist helps:

• Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothes that are easy to take off and put back on.
• Hydration: Drink water before you arrive and keep drinking through the day.
• Skin care: Keep the treated areas clean. Tell your therapist about any incisions, drains, or garments your surgeon wants left alone.
• Comfort: Bring anything that helps you feel at ease. That could be a compression garment your surgeon wants you to wear.
• Questions: Write down what you want to ask so you don’t forget in the moment.

What should you bring to your first session?

Bring your surgery date, the type of procedure you had, and any instructions from your surgeon. If you take medicine or have health conditions, share those too. You do not need to memorize anything. Sharon Thomas and the team welcome questions before you book. You can reach them at 719-271-8539. Asking early helps you feel ready instead of guessing.

What Happens During the Visit: The 3-Step Program

Our lymphatic drainage therapy is a customized, accelerated, advanced, specialized 3-part approach for liposuction surgery recovery. Here is how each part works.

Step 1: Medical Massage Therapy

The first step is medical massage therapy. When muscles work better, fluid has an easier path to move. This step is hands-on. It is adjusted to what your body needs that day.

Step 2: Multi-Light Therapy

Step 2 uses red, blue, and infrared light therapy. The light reaches about one inch deep into the regions that had liposuction. The goal is healthy muscle, muscle repair, and skin restoration. It is a quiet, restful part of the session.

Step 3: Personalized Recovery Support

The third step ties it together. Your plan is built around your procedure and your needs. That matters because recovery looks different for each procedure. These include Lipo 360, a BBL, a Mommy Makeover, a tummy tuck, breast surgery, arm or thigh liposuction, chin and cheek lipo, male breast surgery, and combination lipo. The full program runs over four sessions within one month. Each visit builds on the last.

What to Expect After Each Session

Most people feel relaxed and a little tender afterward. Take it easy for the rest of the day. Keep drinking water. Follow your surgeon’s instructions on garments, activity, and wound care. Some soreness is normal. Call your surgeon if you notice signs that worry you. These include sudden pain, fever, or a change in an incision.

Between visits, notice how your swelling and comfort change. Share that with your therapist at the next session so the plan can adjust. The four-session structure gives you a clear rhythm to follow.

How many sessions will you need?

The program is set up as four comprehensive sessions within one month. Your consultation is where the team confirms what fits your recovery. If your surgeon has a different timeline, say so early. Then the schedule can work around it.

Terry

Sharon was absolutely necessary in my post-op recovery. I could barely walk and was concerned about tissue adhesions and how much swelling I had. After my first session with Sharon I had marked improvement that just kept getting better and better with each session. If you have liposuction or any other surgery then Sharon’s services are crucial in healing. I’ve told my Dr she should refer everyone to her!

Koren Jones-Iannoli

Sharon is a phenomenal therapist, she was very thorough and explained all procedures fully. She provided recommendations on supplements that are beneficial for health. I would highly recommend her If you want greater insights into healing faster, and reducing the time to full recovery. I would give her more stars if I could.
