Post-Surgical Swelling and Recovery

Understanding Post-Surgical Swelling and Inflammation

Heal Better, Recover Faster

Swelling, bruising, and tightness often occur after cosmetic or medical surgery. These symptoms are caused by fluid buildup and inflammation, which can interfere with results if left unmanaged. Whether you’ve had liposuction, a tummy tuck, breast surgery, or another procedure, targeted post-op care is essential to minimize complications and support the healing process.

How We Can Help with Post-Op Recovery

We offer gentle, non-invasive treatments designed to ease swelling, improve circulation, and encourage lymphatic drainage—so your body can heal more efficiently and comfortably.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) for Swelling & Detox

A light-touch massage technique that helps reduce post-op swelling and fluid buildup while supporting the immune system.

Post-Operation Manual Lymphatic Massage for Healing & Recovery

This gentle, post-surgical massage helps reduce swelling, prevent fluid buildup, and promote circulation to support faster healing and improved comfort after surgery.

Aerolase for Scarring & Skin Renewal

This advanced laser treatment targets scar tissue to improve texture, tone, and overall skin appearance. Aerolase stimulates collagen production and promotes natural healing, helping soften the look of scars and restore smoother, clearer skin.

I had the best experience at this med spa! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. Alyssa, who did my facial, was absolutely incredible. She was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her attention to detail and gentle approach made the entire experience so relaxing and enjoyable. I could tell right away that I was in expert hands, which gave me total peace of mind.

After the facial, my skin was glowing like never before. My skin looked and felt amazing! Alyssa’s skill and care truly made a difference compared to any other spa I've been to, and I can’t wait to come back to her for more treatments. I completely trust her recommendations and expertise, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Highly, highly recommend visiting this med spa and asking for Alyssa!

Clean, calming and caring!
Booked the body reset massage with Jasmin and hands down the best massage I’ve had in years. I don’t typically fall asleep during a service but I was nodding off multiple times while in her care, total relaxation!
The spa was very nice and the service was great. Will definitely be back to see Jasmin!

The staff was so professional and welcoming. I had a body contouring session and facial—both were amazing! The spa is clean, modern, and super relaxing. My skin feels refreshed and I noticed immediate results.

If you’re in South Tampa and looking for expert skincare, body sculpting, or post-op massages, this is the place! Highly recommend for non-invasive treatments and glowing results!

- Alexandra Crawford

I had an amazing experience from start to finish with Bianca, who I saw for a facial buccal massage. It was worth every penny, and they have gained a new customer! It is an investment, but I loved the clinical feel of the consultation, making sure my questions were answered, advice on ongoing skincare, and relaxing atmosphere. I look forward to my next appointment.

- Natalie Jones

Alyssa was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and comfortable in the spa’s spotless and relaxing environment. She was not only professional and attentive during the treatment but also took the time to explain what my skin needed and gave me helpful tips on how to care for it afterward. I left feeling refreshed, educated, and excited to come back. Highly recommend her and the spa!

- Andrew George

I cannot recommend Gabi enough! She is not only incredibly knowledgeable as an esthetician, but she also has the most calming and welcoming energy. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you're in great hands. After my facial, my skin felt refreshed and glowing. You can tell she genuinely cares about helping people feel confident and cared for. Definitely will be booking with her again!

- Alison Lebron

A local friend booked massages and lunch for a group of five this past weekend on our girls trip. We had the best time! The atmosphere was relaxing, and the amenities were so comforting. My massage was incredible, and our lunch in the courtyard was fantastic. If I lived in the Tampa area, I would definitely be a frequent visitor! Thanks for a great afternoon!

- Halle Green

I cannot say enough great things about Alyssa and the services I received here! I recently finished a series of four SkinPen treatments with her (including one Aerolase session), and the entire experience was fantastic.

Each session was smooth and easy, and Alyssa always took the time to explain what to expect, answer all my questions, and tailor the treatments to my skin’s needs. I truly felt like I was in expert hands. The results have been better than I ever could’ve imagined —my acne scars have significantly diminished and my skin is looking more even toned and refreshed than it has in years!

If you’re considering any kind of skincare treatment, I highly recommend booking with Alyssa. She’s THE best!

- Julie Honeycutt

Gabi was amazing! She made me feel comfortable and welcome right away and took care of my skin. My skin looked and felt so much better afterwards. She's professional, kind, and really good at what she does. I highly recommend booking with her!!
