Lymphatic Massage

Labiaplasty

Lymphatic massages aim to improve the quality and complexion of the skin by draining excess fluid from the tissues of the body through a series of gentle movements in the direction of lymphatic flow.  Whether excess fluid retention is caused by a recent facial surgery, injury, allergies, or diet, lymphatic massages can help the body maintain proper blood circulation, body fluid balance, and immune functions.  Lymphatic drainage massages work by clearing excess fluids from the body’s tissues, and reabsorption of the lymph and various toxins into the lymph nodes.

Recovery from surgery was work, and I knew the results were worthwhile. The light therapy and {post-surgery lymphatic} massages helped me feel better a lot more quickly.

Lymphatic Massage Therapy After Facial Surgery

An impeccably performed face lift or neck lift surgery is an important part–but only a part–of obtaining beautiful aesthetic results in our practice.  Lymphatic massage after facial surgery can help shorten recovery and improve patient comfort by easing the common post-surgical side effects of bruising, swelling, and tightness.  Most surgically treated areas feel firm and stiff during recovery, and lymphatic massage therapy improves blood flow, increases lymphatic drainage, and improves the clearance of excess, swelling-related fluid from the treated tissues to speed the resolution of post-surgical edema and tissue stiffness.  We commonly combine lymphatic massage therapy with Celluma LED light therapy and Epsom salt warm compresses to help facial surgery patients recovery more quickly and effectively.

The Benefits of Lymphatic Massage Therapy

Lymphatic massage uses light, compressive movements to stimulate the lymphatic system drainage. Lymphatic massage helps the lymph fluid move easily through the body’s tissues and lymph nodes, making sure the fluid does not accummulate or stay within areas of injury or fluid retention.  Moving the lymph from the tissues to the lymph nodes eases the swelling in the tissues. The benefits of lymphatic massage include:

  • Improvement in the quality of the skin
  • Elimination of toxins and fluid build-up
  • Improvement of blood flow
  • Reduction of edema (swelling) after surgery and injury
  • An improved complexion
