Your lymphatic system plays a crucial role in your immunity by moving excess fluid into your blood vessels. However, surgery can disrupt this delicate flow, leading to a weakened immune response and a slower recovery process. This disruption may result in conditions like seroma (a build-up of lymph fluid under the skin near the incision) or even lymphoedema (persistent swelling caused by lymph accumulation).
Plastic surgery, whether cosmetic or reconstructive, places significant stress on the body. Supporting your recovery is essential and involves reducing swelling, enhancing blood circulation, and promoting skin regeneration.
What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle and precise massage technique backed by evidence, designed to enhance your comfort and optimize results. This specialized form of massage stimulates the lymphatic system, promoting the removal of toxins, excess fluid, and waste from the body, leaving you feeling lighter and revitalized.
When should I have Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
If you’re preparing for surgery, I highly recommend scheduling Manual Lymphatic Drainage session before your operation. This gentle therapy stimulates lymphatic flow, helping your body reduce inflammation and get surgery-ready. It also enhances blood circulation and improves skin elasticity—especially beneficial for procedures that reshape the body or skin. By taking this proactive step, you can approach your surgery with confidence, knowing you’ve supported your body’s natural healing processes.
After your operation, if you experience swelling, MLD is an evidence-based technique proven to reduce swelling and accelerate recovery. Be sure to consult your surgeon to determine when it’s safe to begin post-operative MLD sessions.
