Why Lymphatic Massage is Suggested for Cosmetic Surgery:
When considering a cosmetic procedure it is imperative to educate yourself in the amount of preparatory and post surgical care required, ensuring the investment you have made results in the outcome you are hoping to achieve. In recent years, more people are making the decision to undergo reconstructive and elective procedures both in and out of state, making the process more mainstream. Manual Lymphatic Drainage is an integral part to the preparatory and post op recovery to help achieve great results. You have invested a great deal of time and money into this process, continuing with aftercare is also needed for an optimum end result!
During the invasive process of surgery from cosmetic procedures, damage occurs to the essential lymphatic pathways which help remove debris, excess fluid, and promote tissue healing. When damage to the tissue happens and the body starts to repair the are, special cells in the body rush fluid to the area to help decrease inflammation and promote healing, but due to the damage of the lymphatic channels, the reabsorption of that fluid is hindered. MLD helps to re-establish those pathways.
