Has anyone had good results with lymphatic drainage massage to reduce post-op swelling?

By Carol99 on 11 Jun 2012

I'm a few weeks post-op after mini-lift and am having a lot of discomfort due to tightness/swelling around ears and scalp. I've heard lymphatic drainage massage works well to relieve swelling. Has anyone had any results using it? Did you go to a professional? How many treatments did it take to get results? Thanks and best of luck to everyone.

I am sorry no one has answered this but I think LDM is very good for post op swelling. My DR includes this in his fees and I have a quite a few things done with him and he also gives me arnics tablets and bromelaine. I have not had much swelling. You can look this up online and even do this yourself while showering and such to massage excess fluid out of your body. It is a good thing.
