What is manual lymphatic drainage?

Manual lymphatic drainage is a therapeutic massage technique that aims to stimulate the lymphatic system to work more quickly. This technique helps to eliminate excess fluids and toxins from the body, as well as boosting immunity and regenerating tissues. It is often used to treat swelling (oedema), cellulite and is also recommended in the post-operative period of various plastic surgeries.

Drainage is carried out using gentle, slow and precise movements that follow the path of the lymphatic system, moving the lymph to the lymph nodes. It is important that it is carried out by an experienced professional with specific training to guarantee the effectiveness and safety of the procedure.

What are the benefits of lymphatic drainage when recovering from plastic surgery?

Manual lymphatic drainage offers various benefits in post-surgical recovery from aesthetic procedures and plastic surgery, such as:

Combating swelling and fluid retention: lymphatic drainage helps reduce swelling and fluid retention by promoting the drainage of fluids and toxins into the lymph nodes. This facilitates the elimination of these fluids, speeding up recovery.
Promotes muscle toning and tissue oxygenation.
Improved healing: reduces oedema (swelling) and improves blood supply. This contributes to faster tissue healing.
Reduces bruising: increases local blood circulation, helping to reduce bruising.
Improved blood circulation: stimulates circulation, reducing the feeling of heavy legs.
Tissue oxygenation: the elimination of fluids promoted by this technique contributes to more efficient tissue oxygenation.
Elimination of toxins: the lymphatic system helps to eliminate toxins and manual lymphatic drainage makes this process more effective.
Improved self-esteem: by shaping the body and reducing fluid retention, this technique can improve self-esteem and quality of life.

Always consult a specialist to assess the need and suitability of this procedure for your specific case.
