Why Post Surgical Massage?

After cosmetic surgeries like liposuction, tummy tucks, or arm, thigh, and Brazilian butt lifts, the lymphatic channels are disrupted and take about two to three months to make new connections. Plastic surgeons agree that adding a series of lymphatic massages to a patient’s post-op care routines can benefit their recovery. The massage technique helps to reduce swelling and improve aesthetic results by decreasing congestion of the tissue. When there is lymphatic congestion, infection is a much higher risk and you can have healing problems due to the swelling of tissue. That, in turn, can lead to pressure on incision lines.” While lymphatic massages may be most closely associated with body procedures, it is recommended for patients undergoing facial surgeries (think: facelifts), too.
