description Introduction – Breast reconstruction, post breast cancer, can be carried out through liposuction which consequences may be overcomed through physiotherapy. Objective – Check, in a study case, the results of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and neuromuscular bandages (NMB) in pain, edema, bruising and pigmentation on abdomen and breasts, after liposuction for breast reconstruction. Methodology – A patient underwent 10 sessions of physiotherapy with application of MLD and NMB. In each session were evaluated breast and abdomen pain, edema, bruising and pigmentation. Results – Elimination of pain, disappearance of abdominal hematoma, normalization of breast pigmentation and reduction of edema. Conclusion – In this study case, MLD and NMB improve the consequences of post-surgical liposuction for breast reconstruction.
