Will lymph drainage massage help after a Facelift?

Nacklyft
I have heard Lymphatic Massage helps against swelling after a FL. Is this true or just preformed because of the placebo effect? It is quite expense and the Danish doctor says at least 5 treatments are needed? Is there any research proving this?
