    I am a LMT for 15yrs and I specialize in post op plastic surgery care. MLD is not a massage. It's important to be Certified in MLD. The course teaches how to treat all types of post op surgeries as well as other types of lymphedema. I also have advanced training in working with post op plastic surgery patients. I have been doing this work for 7yrs. It's important to know the stages of healing so you can use the appropriate techniques without causing setbacks or harm to your client. A really good resource is Kathleen Lisson. She offers online courses on post op plastic surgery care. Best of luck with your practice.

    Manual Lymphatic Drainage helps with all of what you said post-op massage does, except we don’t push fluid out of incisions or reopen incisions (not safe to do, especially outside of clinical settings). Experienced massage therapists know how to prevent and/or handle fibrosis or spot signs of infection.

    Great video! This answered some important questions for me. I’ve been an LMT for 20 years and I have just added MLD to my repertoire. Post op is definitely different

    In my opinion, no therapist should be doing Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (MLD) if they are not certified in it. The only certifying courses/schools in the US are: Klose Training, Academy of Lymphatic Studies, Monarch CE, Vodder School, and ILWTI. After a therapist becomes certified in MLD, they should take classes in Post-Op MLD. The only courses in the US for post-op are from Academy of Lymphatic Studies, Kathleen Lisson's online courses, and Norton School of Lymphatic Therapy. :)

    Expression of fluid through incisions is out of scope for LMTs in some areas, it is wound care and should be done by a nurse. Plastic surgery clinics may not really know anything about massage therapy and incorrectly advise patients to get "lymphatic massage drainage" for their post-op care. This is doing patients a disservice.

    MLD is not Massage, MLD does not include any massage techniques.
    Post operation lymphatic drainage is also not a massage neither involves pushing fluids out of the incision.
    Look for LANA certified that should be Certified Lymphatic therapist that specializes in post operation.

    How hard should they be massaging the area?

      It should be gentle for the most part, no one should be squeezing you
