Vodder method Manual Lymphatic Drainage does not use any oil or lotion.  As you progress in your healing (typically 6+ weeks post op, or when swelling has significantly subsided), it may be appropriate and helpful to use other massage techniques to re-mobilize the tissue and aid with muscle tension that can arise for various reasons after surgery.  Genle cupping can also help with tissue mobilation and lymphatic drainage.  I primarily use unscented jojoba oil.  Occasionally, I will offer a topical arnica salve. Additionally, for all treatments, I may incorporate occasional use of essential oils, candles, etc.  Please note if you have any allergies, skin sensitivities, or simply do not like certain scents or products.  

These questions ensure that it is safe for you to recieve lymphatic bodywork.  Please let me know prior to each session if any of these answers change.
