Your body's lymphatic system doesn't have its own pump—it relies on muscle movement to circulate lymph fluid and remove toxins.
After surgery, this natural process is compromised due to reduced mobility and surgical trauma.
Here's why scheduling that lymphatic massage after surgery is crucial:
💆♀️ Significantly reduces swelling and inflammation
💆♀️ Minimizes bruising and discoloration
💆♀️ Accelerates healing by improving circulation to surgical sites
💆♀️ Helps prevent fibrosis (hardening of tissue)
💆♀️ Can reduce post-surgical discomfort naturally
At Shah Plastic Surgery, we've observed remarkable differences in recovery timelines between patients who incorporate early lymphatic massage and those who don't.
Remember: This isn't just about comfort—it's about optimizing your surgical results. Proper lymphatic drainage helps your body settle into its new contours more effectively.
