Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic drainage massage is the optimal post- operative care treatment for plastic surgery patients as it reduces swelling, by draining bodily fluids through your lymph nodes. One of the main complications after plastic surgery is known as fibrosis, or chronic inflammatory reactions from fluid build-ups lying under your skin when left untreated. Fibrosis can cause hardening of the skin, as well as swelling or excess bruising.
The main benefits of draining your lymphatic system after surgery include:
- Detoxification
- Reduced Swelling
- Improves recovery time
- Average recovery time with lymphatic drainage is 3 weeks to 6 months
- Average recovery time without, 9-18 months
Must be cleared from Dr. before first session
Most Surgeons recommend 2-3 sessions a week for first 2 weeks immediately following clearance
Included in sessions: Lymphatic Drainage, scar tissue treatments, cavitation where needed
