Manual Lymphatic Drainage for Pre and Post Operative Care

Lymphatic Drainage has proven to be a crucial part of post-operative care for cosmetic surgery patients. Swelling is a normal inflammatory response after surgery, but the excess fluid and fat cells will harden within days if not treated. This specialized type of Lymphatic Drainage Massage not only eliminates this built-up fluid to ease pain and discomfort but addresses the specific complications that may result post-operatively.  It is proven to accelerate the healing process overall and ensures the best possible surgical results. In addition, Lymphatic Drainage is also optimal in preparing the body for these invasive procedures.  Eliminating pre-existing inflammation and toxins prior to surgery will ensure a smoother and more rapid recovery. As many doctors are now recommending Manual Lymphatic Drainage as part of their aftercare plan, adding this treatment to your services will be invaluable.
