What It Does

Why The Face
Has Its Own Protocol

Facial lymphatic anatomy is denser, finer, and closer to the surface than the body's. The pressure is lighter, the rhythm is slower, and the work is precise.

Facial Drainage, Answered

Day 3 is the earliest for most procedures. Some surgeons prefer day 5 or 7 — we will follow your surgeon's instructions.

Yes. Standalone clients with no surgical history book monthly for a less-puffy, more-defined facial appearance.
Yes. We're in the heart of Beverly Hills' plastic-surgery corridor — within a half-mile of many of the city's cosmetic surgeons and under a mile from Cedars-Sinai. The short distance makes the frequent visits of early recovery easy to keep.

In The Surgical Corridor

Minutes From Your Surgeon

Lymphyx sits at 9150 Wilshire Boulevard, in the heart of Beverly Hills’ plastic-surgery corridor — within a half-mile of many of the city’s cosmetic surgeons (some just a few blocks away) and under a mile from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. That proximity matters most in the first two weeks after surgery, when drainage is needed every day or two and a long drive is the last thing you want. Clients come to us straight from procedures across Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and the LA Westside — often the same week they’re discharged.
