Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Massage After Surgery

Surgeons often recommend manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) after plastic surgery to reduce swelling and inflammation and prevent complications like fibrosis, which can occur if swelling persists and hardens in the treated area, causing a lumpy and bumpy texture in the surgical area. Fibrosis can lead to permanent discomfort and less-than-ideal cosmetic outcomes. By promoting proper lymphatic circulation, lymphatic drainage therapy significantly reduces the risk of fibrosis and enhances your recovery, helping you achieve the most optimal results after your plastic surgery procedure.

Your lymphatic system plays a crucial role in eliminating excess fluid and metabolic waste while supporting overall immune health. Surgery, however, can disrupt the flow of lymphatic fluid, leading to swelling as part of the body’s healing process. Some patients also experience lumpiness or hard areas due to trauma from surgical instruments, which can be unsightly and uncomfortable.

How Lymphatic Drainage Therapy Helps Your Recovery

Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a gentle, hands-on technique that stimulates your lymphatic system to move excess fluid out of the body, promoting a smoother, faster recovery. By addressing post-surgical swelling, inflammation, and "lumpiness," our medical-grade treatment helps your body heal naturally and effectively. Many patients report relief from swelling and discomfort after just one session, making it an essential part of your recovery journey.
