Lymphatic drainage massage after surgery?

We find lymphatic drainage to be helpful and recommend 10 sessions over the first two weeks.  Some patients really like it and continue for longer.Healing after a mommy makeover is usually retty straight forward. There is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery. The later phase of healing takes place over the 2-3 months after surgery where everything really settles and softens. It is after this time that we are getting close to the final result, though this varies patient to patient.

Lymphatic massage starts 1-2 weeks after a mommy makeover depending on how comfortable you are post-surgery. However, the exact timing will depend on your modality. If massaged by a licensed massage therapist, it can start earlier. If it is endermologie or synergy, it will usually start a little later.a

Lymphatic drainage can be done after surgery however there is no evidence to support that it helps speed up recovery or reduce swelling. However, it does make some patients feel better. #PlasticSurgery #LymphaticDrainage #Swelling #Recovery
