PostSurgical Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
Lymphatic drainage treatments, often referred to as lymphatic massage, are essential after plastic surgery to aid in recovery.
Our expert lymphatic drainage treatments include the Vodder Method and other specialized techniques to help reduce swelling, minimize bruising, and accelerate healing. This therapy promotes relaxation and detoxification, especially post-anesthesia,
while reducing pain. These gentle treatments promote fluid drainage and faster recovery. Each session is tailored to your needs, facilitating quicker recovery, tissue repair, proper skin reattachment, and boosting collagen and fibroblast production.
During surgery, the skin can become significantly detached from underlying tissues. Aggressive post-op care can hinder proper skin reattachment, potentially leading to serious complications. That’s why it is critical that your provider is licensed, certified,
and highly skilled in post-surgical care.
A well-executed medical lymphatic drainage, when combined with complementary treatments like skin lift taping, fibrosis prevention, cupping, InfraRed light therapy (Celluma), scar treatments, radio frequency skin tightening, and vitamin injections, can
significantly enhance your results.
While plastic surgery focuses on external enhancements, it can cause significant internal trauma, making careful post-op care essential for optimal healing and results.
