Post Surgical Lymphatic Massage

Service Description

ABOULT DRAINAGE MASSAGE During a lymphatic drainage massage, your practitioner will focus on areas that house your main lymph nodes. Comfortable pressure and long strokes are used to move the lymph fluid in such a way that the organs will be able to effectively eliminate the toxins. Once a patient reaches a certain point in their recovery, tools can also be introduced to enhance results. Once it is safe to introduce tools, a variation of organic cedar wood instruments are used. These instruments intensify the breakdown of fatty tissue and cellulite so it may be naturally eliminated along with other toxins through the lymphatic system. Another major benefit is chiseling the waist area, defining arms and legs, and firming the thighs and buttocks. BENEFITS OF LYMPHATIC MASSAGES: The massage can also improve the aesthetics derived from the treatment by reducing congestion in the areas worked on. It sends excess fluids into lymphatic nodes, where they can be removed from the body. Lymphatic massages can also help prevent infection following surgery. Fluid congestion increases the risk of infection because it places pressure on stitched-up incision lines. Plastic surgeons often recommend these massages after any procedures that cause swelling as a side effect. Patients who get plastic surgery typically start their lymphatic massages about two weeks after their surgery. About three to five massages per week are often recommended. The benefits of these massages include: The patient’s skin tissues heal much faster, shortening their recovery It helps get rid of any anesthesia or medication left in the patient’s body It helps reduce pain and discomfort during the recovery process Bruising caused by the procedure heals faster It leads to better performance of the circulatory system Inflammation goes away faster People with health conditions like a current infection, kidney or liver issues, a history of strokes or blood clots, or congestive heart failure are usually not good candidates for a lymphatic massage because it can cause complications.
