Lymphatic drainage is a gentle bodywork technique that stretches the skin, stimulates the lymph, and directly supports the natural, ongoing process of eliminating harmful toxins from the body. It is a subtle yet powerful therapy that can assist the body in functioning at its absolute best. Many doctors prescribe lymphatic drainage after lipo and other plastic surgeries to reduce swelling, the risk of infection, and excess pressure on incision lines and ensure their patients get the best possible aesthetic from their procedure.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage helps move fluid by gently pumping it back into the lymph vessels, reducing the swelling and retention of fluids after surgery. Without lymphatic drainage, the inflammation can evolve into fibrosis- a permanent hardening of the tissue that leaves unwanted lumps and bumps commonly associated with liposuction.
