MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE FOR POST-SURGICAL RECOVERY

What Does MLD Help With?

Post-operative lymphatic drainage can be especially beneficial after plastic surgery procedures; liposuction, tummy tucks, breast augmentation/reduction, BBL, facelifts, etc. As well as orthopedic surgeries, and other operations that result in significant swelling. By helping manage fluid retention and tissue congestion, MLD may improve mobility, reduce feelings of tightness, and support a smoother recovery. It is imperative to reduce swelling as much as possible post-operative, not only will you experience a better outcome and appearance, you will also feel a lot more comfortable! When performed by a trained practitioner and with approval from your surgeon, MLD can be a valuable part of post-surgical care. I have experience using manual lymphatic drainage and (in later stages) using cupping and gu sha tools to ease fibrosis and tissue constriction.
