Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) massage is recommended after surgery involving liposculpture to support the body's natural healing process by reducing swelling, improving circulation, and aiding in the removal of excess fluid.

Two of the most important post-op care steps you need to follow are: Use compression and have MLD. 

There are many benefits to having MLD such as reducing swelling, inflammation, pain, and sensitivity caused post-surgery.  MLD decreases scarring and fibrotic nodules build-up.

Swelling is a normal healing process of the body, which is caused by the disruption of natural pathways taken by the lymphatic system. MLD plays an important role in a fast recovery and minimises complications post-surgery. It also helps the body to eliminate fluid and reduces excessive inflammation causing fibrosis.

Even though the body is tender and in pain post-surgery, it is recommended to start MLD sessions as soon as possible in order to prevent excessive swelling and fibrosis. 

Inflammation or swelling is a very normal healing process of the body post-surgery. Fibrosis, which is a scar tissue developed under the skin, can occur if the inflammation is not properly taken care of. Having MLD promptly can significantly prevent your body from developing fibrosis.

It is recommended to have two-three sessions of MLD per week within the first few weeks post-surgery. It is advised to book sessions prior to surgery to ensure the best results and eliminate any complications while the body is going through the recovery and healing process.

MLD is an essential step to take in order to enhance the result of your surgery and to avoid complications. Contact us today to find your nearest clinic and secure your MLD sessions.
