Why do you need lymphatic drainage post- surgery?
Manual Lymph Drainage Massage (MLD) helps to move the fluid by gently pumping it back into the lymph vessels, reducing the swelling, retention of fluids and pain after the surgery. Without MLD, the inflammation can evolve into fibrosis (a permanent hardening of the tissue) or a seroma (pocket of serum). Many doctors prescribe MLD Therapy after plastic surgery procedures for better results.
How many MLD treatments will I need?
We normally recommend between 5 to 12 lymphatic drainage sessions depending on the area, procedure and the recovering process which is deferent in each person. Also, patients who get multiple procedures at the same time (lipo and a tummy tuck, or liposuction and a buttock enhancement) may need more sessions than someone who only gets one procedure.
Procedures that Lymphatic Drainage Massage can help with:
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tucks, full or mini)
- BBL (Brazilian butt lifts)
- Liposuction / Vaser Lipo / 360
- Breast augmentations or reductions
- Breast reconstructions / Lollipop/ Anchor Lifts
- Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
