Expert Seattle Pre and post-Op Care
Your Surgical Preparation Guide
Surgery is a marathon for your body. Don’t just show up to the starting line, train for it. Our pre-op protocols are designed to give you peace of mind and a measurable head start on your healing journey.
Preparing for surgery is almost as vital as the procedure itself. At Concierge Nurse Services, we provide evidence-based, clinically proven treatments designed to optimize your health, meet your surgeon's exact requirements, and accelerate your post-operative recovery.
The Importance of Pre-Op Care
Preparing for surgery is more than just checking boxes on a medical form, it is about priming your body for the physical demands of healing. Clinical evidence shows that a proactive pre-operative regimen can be the difference between a difficult recovery and a seamless transition back to health.
At Concierge Nurse Services, we believe that "pre-habilitation" is the cornerstone of exceptional surgical outcomes. By focusing on three critical pillars: cellular hydration, lymphatic efficiency, and nutritional optimization, we help you enter the operating room in peak condition.
Why Pre-Op Care Matters:
Reduced Complications: Optimizing iron levels through clinical pre-op iron infusions ensures your body has the oxygen-carrying capacity needed for tissue repair, meeting strict surgeon requirements for safety.
Faster Recovery: Pre-operative lymphatic drainage helps optimize the body’s natural fluid pathways before surgery. By reducing fluid congestion before the first incision, we may help minimize post-surgical swelling and support a smoother healing experience.
Cellular Resilience: Pre-operative vitamin infusions help nourish and hydrate the body before surgery, giving it key nutrients used in healing and recovery. By optimizing hydration and nutritional support in the week leading up to your procedure, we help you head into surgery with a stronger foundation for recovery.

Optimize Healing with Pre-Op Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Our specialists recommend a series of 1 to 3 pre-operative lymphatic drainage sessions, spaced a day or two apart, in the week leading up to surgery. This gentle, light-touch therapy helps support the body’s natural movement of lymph fluid, reduce baseline fluid congestion, and prepare the tissues for recovery.
What to expect: Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, medically informed treatment, not a traditional muscle-focused massage. Because many lymphatic vessels sit close to the skin’s surface, treatment is performed with light, precise strokes rather than deep tissue or muscle work. We use no oils or lotions during the session intentionally, which helps with controlled skin-stretching movements.
Flexible Recovery Packages
Commit to your complete healing journey. We offer an exclusive 15% discount on packages of four or more Lymphatic Drainage Massage sessions. Clients love this flexible option because it allows you to seamlessly split your sessions between essential pre-op preparation and post-op maintenance.
Hydration via Pre-Op IV Therapy
We recommend scheduling pre-operative IV therapy about one week before your procedure to support hydration and nutritional readiness before surgery. This timing helps replenish fluid balance and provide nutrients the body uses in wound healing, immune support, and collagen synthesis during the early recovery period.
Pre-Op Iron Infusions
Many surgeons require your hemoglobin and ferritin levels to reach a specific baseline before you can qualify for surgery. Our clinical iron infusions are a safe solution to boost your levels quickly and reliably, to get you cleared for your procedure without delay. Same day appointments can typically be accommodated.
