Anyone used a male therapist for post-op MLD?

Hey sisters, I’m currently 1 week post-op from a TT and Lipo 360 and the swelling is honestly making me miserable. I feel like a literal brick and my Faja is getting so hard to put back on by myself. 😫

I’m looking for mobile MLD because there’s no way I can sit in a car for 30 mins to get to a clinic right now. I found a specialist nearby who has amazing reviews for "post-op recovery" and "body sculpting," but he’s a guy.

I know it’s professional, but since MLD for a tummy tuck involves being basically topless/in a thong for the stomach and breast drainage (and help getting back into the Faja), I’m feeling a bit nervous. He says he specializes in the "Brazilian style" which is exactly the kind of results/growth I want to see, but the nudity part is giving me pause.

Has anyone here used a male therapist for their recovery? Did you feel comfortable while being undressed/exposed? Was it worth it for the results? I really need the relief but I’m just overthinking the "male therapist" aspect since we’re so vulnerable right after surgery.

Any advice or experiences would be amazing. Thanks! ❤️
