Lymphatic Drainage Massage
For Pre & Post Operative Care
Before Surgery
It is imperative that you prepare your body for such an invasive procedure. As part of the healing process, your body will experience significant swelling and inflammation. Maintaining a clean and healthy diet consisting of anti-inflammatory foods and keeping fully hydrated beforehand will help in this process.
In addition, ridding your body of pre-existing toxins and inflammation before your surgery will also ensure a smoother and more rapid healing time. Lymphatic Drainage Massage will help you achieve this detoxification and prepare your system for your upcoming surgery.
After Surgery
Once your surgery is complete, different phases of the healing process will begin. Excess fluid will quickly accumulate in the body, and can harden within weeks if not treated. Manual Lymphatic Drainage will effectively move this built-up fluid back into the lymphatic capillaries where it can be eliminated by the body. This prevents fibrosis, the formation of thick, fibrous scar tissue under the skin.
Another complication that may arise from cosmetic surgery is the development of seromas, the abnormal accumulation of fluid between two tissues that have been detached during a surgical procedure, or a dead space. They are a potential source of pain, redness, inflammation, and possibly infection. Lymphatic Drainage Massage, combined with taping therapy, is the most recommended treatment by surgeons to prevent and drain seromas without medical intervention.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage after surgery can help with:
Inflammation
Appearance of Scars and Bruising
Blood circulation
Acceleration of the healing process overall
Pain relief
Ensuring the best possible results from your cosmetic surgery procedure
What to Expect
A Lymphatic Drainage Massage uses a systematic approach with specific manual techniques to help gently transport excess fluid in the direction of the lymph flow, flushing out toxins and ensuring proper drainage. Manual Lymphatic Drainage after surgery typically lasts 60 minutes per session. Treatments can be scheduled 1-2 times per week, depending on individual need.
It is recommended to have Lymphatic Drainage Massage within the first 12 hours after surgery since excess fluids immediately begin to accumulate and issues can quickly occur. A Body Consultation will be required before Manual Lymphatic Drainage after surgery can be scheduled to assess the current condition of your body and identify any potential issues.
