✅ Benefits of MLD After Surgery
1. Reduces Swelling
Surgery often causes fluid buildup. MLD gently encourages lymph flow, helping drain excess fluid and reduce post-op edema.
2. Minimizes Bruising
By accelerating the removal of waste and blood from tissues, MLD can help bruises fade more quickly.
3. Promotes Healing
Stimulating the lymph system supports immune function and tissue regeneration.
4. Improves Comfort
MLD is gentle and often soothing, providing relief from tightness or pressure in the operated area.
5. May Help Prevent Fibrosis
In some cases (especially after liposuction), MLD can help reduce the risk of hard lumps or fibrosis under the skin.
MLD can be a safe, effective adjunct to recovery after cosmetic plastic surgery—if approved by your surgeon and done by a qualified therapist. It’s not a cure-all but may speed up healing, reduce discomfort, and improve outcomes.
