Lypossagein San Antonio

At Micallef Plastic Surgery, achieving optimal results is our focus before surgery and continues well into recovery. To support this philosophy, we offer Lypossage, a specialized, non-invasive therapy that detoxifies the body, enhances skin tone, and reduces cellulite. This scientifically proven treatment helps patients prepare for surgery, recover efficiently, and maintain long-term results.

What is Lypossage?

Developed in 1999 by Charles W. Wiltsie III, Lypossage has gained international recognition for its ability to promote lymphatic drainage, accelerate healing, and refine body contours. Backed by research in the U.S. and Belgium, Lypossage is a powerful tool for enhancing surgical outcomes and ensuring a smooth recovery.

The Benefits of Lypossage for Plastic Surgery Patients

Before Surgery

Lypossage detoxifies tissues, reduces inflammation, and improves circulation, helping to create the ideal conditions for surgery. The skin and underlying tissues become more elastic and responsive to treatment, enhancing healing and surgical outcomes.

After Surgery

Post-surgical Lypossage helps reduce swelling, supports tissue repair, and prevents excessive scar tissue formation. By promoting skin firmness and optimizing body contouring, the surgery results are refined and maintained over time.

Customized Pre-Operative Protocol with Jill Scoggins

Nine weeks before surgery, a structured Lypossage treatment plan helps prepare the body for the procedure. Eighteen sessions, performed two to three times per week, target specific areas to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and tone the skin.

Zone 1 focuses on the hips, thighs, buttocks, and lower abdomen. Treatments reduce cellulite, stimulate lymphatic drainage, and enhance skin texture.

Zone 2 targets the upper abdomen, chest, back, and arms. These sessions support lymphatic function, improve posture, and firm the skin.

A manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) session is performed three days before surgery to detoxify the tissues, minimize swelling, and prepare the body for an optimal surgical experience.
By following this carefully designed approach, the body is primed for a smooth procedure and a faster, more comfortable recovery.

The Science Behind Lypossage

Lypossage has been extensively studied and proven to enhance both pre-and post-surgical care. In a U.S. study, participants saw an average reduction of 6.45 inches in body circumference and significant improvements in cellulite appearance after 18 sessions. Research in Belgium demonstrated improved lymphatic drainage, reduced fluid retention, and enhanced skin elasticity, all essential for preparing the body for surgery and supporting a smooth recovery.
More than just a cosmetic treatment, Lypossage is a scientifically-backed therapy that improves both appearance and overall wellness.

Home Care: Supporting Your Results Between Sessions

To extend and maintain the benefits of Lypossage, Jill provides a structured homecare routine that promotes healing and enhances surgical results.

Dry brushing twice daily improves circulation, supports lymphatic flow, and exfoliates the skin using gentle strokes toward the heart.
Staying hydrated with at least eight to ten glasses of water daily helps flush toxins and maintain skin elasticity.
Nutrition plays a key role in recovery, with a recommended daily intake of 125 grams of protein to support tissue repair and collagen production. Avoiding inflammatory foods such as dairy and gluten helps reduce post-surgical bloating.
Using medical-grade moisturizers and firming products helps nourish the skin and maintain elasticity.

By incorporating these steps into a daily routine, patients can maximize the benefits of Lypossage in San Antonio and achieve long-lasting improvements in skin tone, circulation, and body contour.
