What is Post Surgery Massages?
After you have plastic surgery, particularly a body procedure like a tummy tuck, liposuction, or a mommy makeover, you want to heal as quickly as possible. While rest, gentle activity, and following your post-op instructions are key, lymphatic drainage massage can accelerate your recovery period.
How It Works
Your lymphatic system is key to healing, regenerating tissues, and removing toxins from the body. Manual lymphatic massage helps re-start the system of moving lymph through the body and can provide a variety of benefits, including more efficient healing, reduced scar formation, removal of excess water and metabolic waste, reduced swelling and fluid retention, and improved skin quality.
Benefits & Results
Lymphatic massage helps to move the fluid that's built up and allows it to move back into the lymphatic passages where excess waste and fluid can be flushed from the body. This prevents fibrosis, which is the development of thick, fibrous scar tissue under the skin, as well as reduces swelling and bruising. Many doctors highly recommend lymphatic drainage after surgery.
