What is exactly our Lymphatic Post-Operative Massage?

A post-operative lymphatic massage is a gentle form of massage that increases blood flow and promotes recovery by targeting the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system helps process waste and absorbs fluids. After surgery, these fluids can harden, which is often painful. A post-operative massage prevents and treats this hardening of fluids by reducing inflammation and promoting circulation to the affected area.

The massages also serve as a tool to further promote the aesthetic you wish for yourself and aid in reducing things like scarring and discomfort.

After plastic or cosmetic surgery, the body is susceptible to physical pain in the underlying tissue, joints, and muscles. Post-operative massage therapy can be beneficial to speed up the recovery process, while reducing inflammation and minimizing soreness or pain after surgery. There are several different types of postsurgical massage, depending on your cosmetic procedure.

Lymphatic Post-operative Massage

You already may be familiar with massages, which are manipulations done by a professional who uses their hands for therapeutic purpose. After two or three weeks of any kind of surgery, an individual may build up liquid that may harden and result in fibrosis.

Plastic Surgeons recommend the lymphatic drainage massage to help prevent this occurrence. Manual massage activates the lymph nodes and improves lymph flow throughout the patient’s body, which eliminates bruising, improves circulation, and ultimately helps the healing process; with fewer scars.

Your lymphatic system is an essential part of your immune system, so if it is not functioning adequately then it may lead to other more serious health problems. Postsurgical massage releases inflamed muscles and tissues in the areas that the procedure has been performed by alleviating accumulated liquid. People need to be aware of the benefits of a postoperative lymphatic massage after an esthetic surgery towards the greatest result.

Post-operative lymphatic massage at Body Contouring Spa Montreal can begin 2 weeks after surgery depending on your physician’s orders. We make sure you meet all of the post-surgical follow up requirements. You will be surprised by the amount of healing you can achieve from lymphatic drainage massage!

FAQ About Post-Operative Massage

A: In many cases, the answer is, yes. But it’s always a good idea to check with the surgeon or primary care doctor, because there may be certain areas you’ll want to avoid, or the specific conditions when it might be best to wait.

A: The answer involves much more than the surgery – remember, massage therapy addresses the needs of an individual, not a procedure. Generally as soon as the client is comfortable with having a massage, you’re good to go. Remember, surgery carries with it emotional components, so one of the best approaches is to provide a relaxing, soothing and caring touch to help heal the soul.

And then there are the pain-relieving components as well – some people have post-op pain, and massage is a terrific natural alternative to those prescription drugs patients get sent home with.

A: That would depend on the condition of the surgical site. If it’s still healing up – especially if it hasn’t closed up yet, is red or draining, or is swollen, you should avoid working on the area with any friction or pulling strokes that might stress the wound. However, feather light stroking in the surrounding area can be soothing.

A: The old-school answer was, not for two years. But what is becoming more common practice is to begin massaging scar tissue after as little as three weeks, as it can boost healing. In fact, some patients are even being taught self-massage of scar tissue before even leaving the hospital.
