Plastic Surgery Recovery

PREpare for a successful plastic surgery with lymphatic massage.

Preparing for plastic surgery can ensure the best possible outcome. Surgery is an intense process for your body that affects lymphatic flow and can cause bruising, swelling, numbness, fibrosis, scarring, and pain. By taking steps to restore your lymph flow after surgery, you can improve your outcome and enjoy a faster, more pleasant recovery.

Recovery Begins Before Plastic Surgery

We recommend you a minimum of 1-2 Lymphatic Drainage Massages prior to your surgery. These massages will help clear your body of toxins and activate your body’s healing capabilities before surgery. Your surgery will result in a large amount of lymph fluid and surgical waste that your body will need to process (lymphatic fluid, biological by-product, and toxic waste from your surgery), so clearing your lymphatic system first will help prepare your body to handle the recovery.

Lymphatic Drainage massages also ignite your immune response and charge your cellular metabolism, so you are able to combat potential infections and heal more quickly. Think of it as clearing out the clogged pipes before a flood. Lymphatic drainage sessions boost cellular metabolism and immune response. This helps fight off potential infection post-op, ensuring a quicker and smoother healing journey. Patients who receive Lymphatic Massages before surgery swell less, have their drains removed more quickly, and have better outcomes.

Post-Operative Plastic Surgery Recovery Treatment

We can support your plastic surgery recovery by customizing a treatment plan for you that includes one or more treatment options. It can take 2-3 months for your lymph pathways to reestablish after the disruption of a major surgery, so supporting your body during this time is imperative and will improve your experience.

How it works

MLD or Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle skin stretching massage technique that encourages swelling to move into our body’s lymphatic system. The skin stretch is what makes it effective. It is not a milking, rubbing, or gliding massage. It is used to increase lymphatic fluid transport and rate, develop new routes for lymphatic drainage from congested areas to adjacent non-edematous regions, increase the activity of macrophages to break down protein deposits, and mechanically break up fibrotic tissue.

Pre/post Operative Sessions - Pricing

Pre-Operative Sessions

Those who get lymphatic drainage therapy before their surgery do not swell as much and have overall better outcomes. Also, you boost your cellular metabolism and immune responses. This helps fight off potential infections post-op, ensuring an optimal healing journey. This can be scheduled 1-3 weeks before surgery depending on how many sessions you want to receive (1-3 pre-op sessions are recommended). This can be scheduled as a regular MLD session - 1 hr. ($130.00).
