Who's actually there, and what they're trained in.

19 places to stay, 15 post-op lymphatic drainage therapists and 6 mobile aftercare providers who come to you, across 6 metros. This market advertises “24-hour care” for at least four different arrangements — we record what each provider actually claims, in their own words, and never round it up.

The 3am question

A caregiver is not a nurse

A nurse sleeping on site, an aide on site, a nurse reachable by phone, and daily visits are four different products sold under one phrase. We say "nurse on site" only where the provider says nurse, label a caregiver a caregiver, and never count on-call as being in the building.

Credentials in full

Vodder-certified isn't "MLD-trained"

Among lymphatic therapists the range runs from CLT and Vodder certification, through massage licensure alone, down to no credential stated at all — sometimes with "MLD" still in the business name. Each listing prints exactly what is claimed and nothing more.

What we don't do

No listing is paid for

We take no fee from any provider here and we have inspected none of them. Everything is drawn from what they publish; where they publish nothing, the field stays blank rather than guessed at. Rates are the usual blank — most don't publish one, so ask.

2 of the 19 places to stay have a nurse on site overnight. 4 of 15 lymphatic therapists hold a formal certification. Rates start at $300 a night.

Recovery House

Charm Home Miami

West Miami-Dade

Publishes a flat $300/night for either a private or a shared room, which is unusual — most houses charge a premium for private. Three meals and five round trips (airport, pre-op, surgery, post-op, pharmacy) are included. Staff hold CNA and HHA certifications and a nurse is on call rather than in the building. Four-night minimum on private rooms; no guests permitted.

Advertises "around-the-clock care", but the staff named are home health aides and clinical medical assistants — no nursing credential is stated. No rates published.

Runs multiple locations. Packages include airport and surgery transport, post-op appointment transport, three meals with unlimited snacks, prescription collection, robes, laundry and WiFi.

Post-op accommodation serving Miami, with three meals a day, recovery supplies and massages. Staff are described as "highly trained professionals" without any credential being named. Advertises 24/7 care but publishes business hours of 9am to 10pm, which is worth asking about directly.

Trades as A1 Nurse Consultants, LLC, covering Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. The best-documented credentials of anything found so far: owned by a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with surgical intensive care experience, with Florida-licensed CNAs on staff, all ACLS and BLS trained. Services are visit-shaped — wound care, vitals, medication management, lymphatic drainage and one meal a day.

ZEN RECOVERY-SURGICAL AFTERCARE

Houston

Transport is unusually complete — post-op pickup, every follow-up visit during the stay, and airport transfers both ways, all included, plus wound care, laundry, housekeeping, meals and an IV. Advertises "24/7 attentive care" with "experienced caregivers available at all times", naming no nursing credential. The published address is a mailbox: the site says plainly it is "business location, not where our services are conducted" and withholds the real address until booking.

Recovery Retreat

Holiday Post-Op Retreat LLC

Atlanta

Offers daily nursing assessments with 24/7 on-call support, plus lymphatic drainage, IV infusion therapy, telehealth monitoring and transport. Note the wording carefully: assessments are daily and support is on-call, which is not the same as a nurse being in the building overnight, and no credential is named. Publishes no address, phone number or pricing.

Los Angeles

Beverly Hills-adjacent aftercare centre on Wilshire, headlining "24/7 Nurse Care" and describing itself as a healing and wellness centre with nurse care around the clock. It names no credential and does not say whether that nurse is in the building overnight, which is the question worth asking. No rates, inclusions or procedures published.

Wilshire Boulevard facility taking recovery for almost any outpatient surgery, across four large condos in a residential building, most with private balconies. States that "licensed care is available 24 hours per day" and a licensed medical practitioner will always be available during your stay — note "available" rather than on site, and no credential is named. Meals provided and transport coordinated from the surgery centre; a companion may stay. The $1,750 nightly figure is from trade reporting, not from the facility, which publishes no rates of its own — treat it as an indication and confirm directly.

Lymphatic Therapist

Carolina Pintos Therapy | Lymphatic, Post Op, & Facials

Memorial, Houston

The most thoroughly credentialled practitioner in this directory: PT, LMT, MLD, CLT and MTT, with a Texas massage licence number published, and a team that includes RNs and LVNs. Treats post-surgical recovery, lymphedema, and scar tissue and fibrosis, and also works with cancer recovery and pregnancy. Offers in-office, at-home and hybrid post-op packages from two Houston locations, Memorial and The Woodlands.

Yacobewell Spa - Lymphatic. Massage. Recover

Katy, Houston

Names BBL, tummy tuck and liposuction recovery specifically, which is more precise than most, and includes a consultation before the session plus written aftercare guidance. Sessions are 30, 65 or 90 minutes. No practitioner credential is stated. Katy is well west of central Houston, so factor the drive from the Texas Medical Center surgical cluster.

Appointment-only studio with a defined treatment menu: a 60-minute post-op recovery session including a digital body assessment, FDA-cleared light therapy and microcurrent plus ultrasound, alongside longer body and facial sculpting options up to 110 minutes. Explicitly covers recovery after tummy tucks, liposuction, BBLs, mommy makeovers and breast reconstruction. No practitioner credential is stated anywhere on the site, which is worth asking about. Two locations, McKinney and Southlake.

Lymphatic Express

North Dallas

The only provider in this directory publishing a full price list, and by some distance the most useful for comparison: post-operative lymphatic drainage is $89 for 60 minutes, with seroma drainage, drain removal and suture removal priced separately. The credentials are specific too — a CLT, CLWT, CCS and CPST on the team alongside an APRN, with other staff described as MLD-trained rather than certified, a distinction they draw themselves. Two locations, North Dallas and Grand Prairie.

Bela Vi Aesthetics: Lymphatic Massage after Surgery

Chastain Park, Atlanta

Names all four of its licensed massage therapists on the site, which is more transparent than most, and runs 60 to 90-minute manual lymphatic drainage sessions. Worth knowing that the credential claimed is massage licensure rather than a lymphatic-specific certification — no MLD-C, CLT or Vodder training is mentioned, which is a real distinction for someone days out of surgery. Also offers general detox lymphatic sessions, which is a different product from post-op work.

The Lymphatic Lady

West Hollywood, Los Angeles

Works on post-operative care and post-surgical tissue changes. West Hollywood, with no street address, phone number or pricing published; booking runs through the site.

Carrie Dunn, LMT, MLD-C | Restorative Results Therapy

Sessions run 60, 90 or 120 minutes from a fixed office in Suwanee, north-east of Atlanta, so this is a drive from the Buckhead surgical cluster rather than close to it.

Three meals a day, housekeeping, laundry and seven transport trips are included on stays of three nights or more; lymphatic massage is $85 a session on top. Nurse-owned, though the site does not say what happens overnight. Note the site quotes tax as 6.5% in one place and 8.25% in another, so confirm which applies. Address is withheld until booking.

Worth noting the shared room costs more than the studio, so read the room list rather than assuming shared is cheapest. Nurse-owned, overnight staffing not stated, address withheld until booking.

The Cloister at Park Lane

Park Lane, Dallas

The only facility in this directory that states nursing care is physically present at all times, rather than available or on call — and it sits adjacent to Dallas Day Surgery as an extension of the surgeons’ own outpatient practices, so clinical continuity runs through the same people who operated. Every room has a hospital bed plus a second queen bed so someone can stay with you at no stated charge. It publishes no rates and names no nursing credential.
