What Healing Can Look Like After Surgery
"By week three I was still really swollen and discouraged by the lack of change. After about a week of using this consistently, the swelling finally started to feel like it was moving instead of just sitting there. That’s when I felt like things were actually progressing."
Why swelling starts to feel hard and “stuck”
When swelling just sits there, the fluid gets trapped under the skin.
Over time, the tissue around it starts tightening and gripping it.
That is when the area feels hard, sore, and uncomfortable to touch, even weeks later.
How steady pressure changes everything
Trapped swelling responds best to steady, gentle pressure, because pushing too hard only makes the area tense up more, and uneven movement just irritates it. That’s why Essara keeps the pressure consistent the whole time, so the fluid can start moving again and the tight tissue can slowly soften. And that’s how those hard, uncomfortable spots finally stop feeling stuck.
Gentle Support For Recovery
That stuck, heavy feeling does not follow a schedule.
That is why Essara is made to give consistent support whenever you need it

Frequently Asked Questions

When can I start using it after lipo?
Most people begin around 1–2 weeks post-op, once swelling has settled a bit and touching the area feels okay. If a spot is too tender, wait and start slowly.

No. The pressure is gentle and steady, so you’re not pushing deep into swollen tissue. If any area feels too reactive or sharp, ease off and try again later.

It shouldn’t. Start on the lowest setting and only stay on places that feel comfortable. If anything feels too sensitive, skip that spot for now.

It doesn’t replace a therapist, but it helps between sessions when swelling builds again and tightness returns. Many women use both for day-to-day comfort.
