Lymphatic Drainage Massage
When it comes to post-plastic surgery care, lymphatic drainage massage is one of the most important treatments you can receive. This type of massage helps to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain while promoting healing and reducing scarring. It also works to detoxify the body by removing built-up toxins from tissue fluids. As a result, lymphatic drainage massage can help improve the overall outcome of your plastic surgery procedure.
The Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system is responsible for transporting fluid away from tissues so it can be filtered through organs such as the spleen and liver before being eliminated from the body through urine or sweat. When this process is disrupted due to injury or inflammation, fluid can build up in specific areas causing swelling and pain. Lymphatic drainage massage works by stimulating the flow of lymph fluid throughout your body which helps reduce this excess fluid buildup while also helping to remove toxins that have built up in tissue fluids.
In addition to reducing swelling, lymphatic drainage massage has a number of other benefits when used after plastic surgery procedures such as facelifts, rhinoplasty (nose jobs), liposuction, breast augmentation/reduction surgeries and more:
1) Improved circulation: Massaging helps increase blood flow which promotes healing while also providing essential nutrients needed for tissue repair;
2) Reduced risk of infection: Massage stimulates white blood cells which fight bacteria helping reduce your risk for postoperative infections;
3) Relieved pain: Lymphatic drainage massage reduces edema – an accumulation of excess watery fluid – which is known for causing painful pressure on nerves;
4) Reduced scarring: By improving circulation near incision sites you are able to promote collagen production resulting in smoother skin with less visible scars;
5) Enhanced relaxation response: During a session with your certified practitioner you will experience deep relaxation that encourages healing and reduces stress levels associated with recovery from surgery.
Overall, there are numerous benefits associated with receiving regular sessions of lymphatic drainage massages following plastic surgery procedures that help speed up recovery time while ensuring optimal results for years to come!
