Leg surgery
Leg surgery recovery requires specialized attention to lower-extremity circulation. Our protocol reduces swelling, prevents fibrosis, and restores smooth contours from hip to ankle.
Focus areas
Leg surgery
Whether you had a thigh lift, calf reshaping, or liposuction of the legs, post-operative care is essential to manage swelling that naturally pools in the lower extremities. Our protocol uses gravity-assisted drainage techniques, targeted compression guidance, and progressive tissue work to ensure your legs heal evenly and beautifully.
Focus areas
- Lower-extremity lymphatic drainage
- Fibrosis prevention in thighs and calves
- Compression garment fit for leg contours

Gravity-assisted lymphatic drainage
Ganglion activation (inguinal and popliteal)
Progressive tissue mobilization
Ultrasound therapy (Phase 2+)

Compression garment
Leg compression garments are essential for the first 2-3 months. We check fit regularly as swelling decreases to ensure even results.
Important notes
- Elevate legs when resting to support drainage
- Walking short distances helps circulation and healing
- Swelling in legs can last longer than other areas due to gravity
- Complete the full protocol for even, smooth results
