The lymphatic system contains fluid that removes waste and other by products from the body’s tissues. After liposuction, the build up of lymph fluid in the treated areas may cause swelling in addition to bruising and numbness from the procedure. This can be uncomfortable and prevent you from being able to see your final results. Lymphatic drainage massages can help reduce this swelling and the hardness following liposuction.
Lymphatic drainage massage is a specialist massage technique that uses gentle, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the movement of the built up fluid resulting in reduced swelling and less associated discomfort. It helps to support the healing process and speeds up recovery after a surgical procedure. It also reduces the appearance of scars and stretch marks, improves any contour irregularities, and reduces the pain associated with the recovery. The main aim of this treatment is to help our clients regain flexibility and sensation whilst providing the ability for relaxation thus improving general wellbeing.
Lymphatic massages can begin from as soon as one day post liposuction, however please consult your surgeon prior to booking.
