Massage Post Operation Lymphatic Drainage
Plastic surgeons frequently recommend Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) after liposuction or abdominoplasty with liposuction (a ‘tummy tuck’).
After surgery, patients can experience severe swelling and bruising that can last for weeks to months. The flow of lymph can be interrupted by the surgery, which can result in reduced healing, fibrosis, scar tissue, dimpled, uneven skin, and the possibility of developing seromas (pockets of serous fluid).
Lymphatic drainage speeds up healing and reduces the possibility of abnormalities, lumps, and bumps, as well as the creation of scar tissue, all of which might compromise the cosmetic result. During the liposculpture process, it also aids in the skin’s tightening and conforming to the newly sculpted body contour.
