What is Postoperative Lymphatic Drainage?
Postoperative lymphatic drainage is a specialized massage technique designed to accelerate recovery after cosmetic surgery procedures such as liposuction, abdominoplasty, facelift, breast augmentation and other surgical interventions. Its main objective is to stimulate the lymphatic system to reduce swelling, minimize fluid retention and prevent the formation of fibrosis or irregularities in the skin.
When is Postoperative Lymphatic Drainage Recommended?
The number of sessions and frequency of lymphatic drainage depends on the type of surgery and the individual patient’s response. In most cases, it is recommended to begin sessions within the first week after surgery and continue with a customized plan according to the patient’s needs.
Medical specialists usually suggest between 5 and 15 sessions, depending on the swelling and recovery process of each person.
How is Lymphatic Drainage Performed?
Postoperative lymphatic drainage massage is performed with specific techniques that include:
✅Gentle, rhythmic movements in the direction of the major lymph nodes.
✅Use of manual techniques to stimulate the elimination of accumulated fluids.
✅Application of light and controlled pressure to avoid discomfort and to favor the correct reabsorption of edema.
✅This massage should not be painful and should be performed by professionals trained in postoperative cosmetic surgery.
Postoperative Lymphatic Drainage Benefits This massage offers multiple benefits for post-surgical recovery, among them:
✨1. Reduction of Inflammation and Swelling.
After surgery, the body tends to accumulate fluids in the tissues, which generates swelling and discomfort. Lymphatic drainage facilitates the elimination of these retained fluids, accelerating swelling.
✨2. Improved Circulation and Elimination of Toxins.
Massage stimulates lymphatic flow, helping the body to eliminate toxins and metabolic waste generated after surgery. This improves tissue oxygenation and promotes a faster and more efficient recovery.
✨3. Prevention of Fibrosis and Stiffening.
One of the risks after surgeries such as liposuction is the formation of fibrosis, which are irregular hardening of the skin due to the accumulation of fluid and scar tissue. Lymphatic drainage helps to soften the skin and prevent these adverse effects.
✨4. Pain Relief and Sense of Well-Being.
Through gentle, rhythmic movements, this massage helps relieve the sensation of tightness, pain and postoperative discomfort, promoting a more comfortable recovery.
✨5. Tissue Healing and Regeneration.
Increased lymphatic circulation promotes better cellular nutrition, which contributes to optimal healing and faster regeneration of tissues affected by surgery.
