In Wisconsin it’s hard to find someone who specializes in post surgery lympthatic massages. I came across Donna’s page and am very grateful I did! From the moment I stepped foot into her house, she had a comforting aura and a welcoming atmosphere! Donna is very knowledgeable in the service she provides and does an outstanding job!! I drive over an hour and a half to have my massages done by her because no one else’s quality compares! I highly recommend her to anyone needing massages done or needing a new faja!

I started my massages with Donna at one month post op. I am so glad I found her. She is wonderful. She does an amazing job, so personable and made me feel so comfortable and she is also so knowable about the surgery I had and the recovery process. I learned a lot about my recovery from her. I would highly recommend her if looking for this type of massage, you will not regret it. She has helped my swelling and recovery process so much and I always feel great when I leave.

I promise you that you will be in great hands with Donna! I’ve been getting massages with her for a few months now, and her massages are top quality. She has perfected this skill because let me tell you, I leave here feeling brand new!! I don’t know what she does with her hands, but she gets all the right places and really knows where to focus more time depending on your swelling. She has a nice massage bed that’s usually kept warm with a heating blanket, she uses hot towels during the massage which I absolutely love, and the oils and lotions she uses smell so good! Donna plays relaxing music in the background and dims down the lights so you can feel at ease. What I love most about Donna is that you can go there and not say a word and just enjoy your massage, or you can be like me and talk her ear off. She has such a beautiful personality and I’m so happy that I chose to do my massages with her. 10/10 definitely recommend.

Why clients come to see Donna

When your body feels heavy, swollen or just not quite right

Your lymphatic system is your body's quiet clean-up crew. When it slows down after surgery, or simply with life, fluid can build up. Lymphatic drainage massage uses slow, light, rhythmic strokes to help it move again.

What is lymphatic drainage?

Swelling after surgery

Lipo, BBL, tummy tuck, breast and 360 procedures.

Puffiness & bloating

That waterlogged, tight feeling in your face, belly or ankles.

Heavy, tired legs

Legs that ache and swell after long days standing, sitting or flying.

Feeling sluggish & stressed

A deeply calming treatment that leaves most people feeling lighter and rested.

We talk through your health, any surgery and how you're feeling, so the session fits you.

Clearing the pathways

Donna starts at the neck and core, opening the main drainage points so fluid has somewhere to go.

Slow, rhythmic strokes

Light, wave-like movements guide fluid toward your lymph nodes. Most people find it deeply relaxing.

Feel lighter

You'll leave with simple aftercare tips: hydrate, move gently, and enjoy that lighter feeling.

Recovering from surgery?

Post-op lymphatic massage in Milwaukee

After liposuction, a BBL or a tummy tuck, your lymphatic system works overtime. Regular post-surgical lymphatic massage may help reduce swelling and bruising, soften hard areas and keep you more comfortable while you heal.

Questions

Lymphatic massage FAQs

What does lymphatic drainage massage feel like?
Light, slow and rhythmic, very different from a deep tissue massage. Your lymph vessels sit just under the skin, so gentle pressure is what works. Most clients find it so relaxing they drift off.
How soon after surgery can I start?
Many surgeons clear patients to begin within a few days to a week after liposuction, BBL or a tummy tuck. Always follow your surgeon's instructions, and bring any post-op notes to your first visit.
How many sessions will I need?
For post-surgical recovery, most people book a series of sessions over the first few weeks. For general wellness, puffiness or heavy legs, many clients come every 2–4 weeks. Donna will recommend a plan after your first visit.
Who should not have lymphatic massage?
Please speak with your doctor first if you have an active infection or fever, a blood clot (DVT), congestive heart failure, kidney problems, or active cancer. Your health and safety always come first.
Where are you located?
Donna sees clients in Glendale (6002 N Port Washington Rd) and Waukesha (N4W22370 Bluemound Rd, Suite 100), both inside Illume Cosmetic Surgery & MedSpa.
