Post -OP massages

After you have plastic surgery, particularly a body procedure like a tummy tuck, liposuction, or a mommy makeover, you want to heal as quickly as possible. You want to feel better so you can get back to your daily routine, but you also are excited to see the results of your procedure more quickly. While rest, gentle activity, and following your post-op instructions are key, lymphatic drainage massage can accelerate your recovery period.

Post-Surgery Massage

What is Post-Op Plastic Surgery Massage?

Post-operative plastic surgery massage, often referred to as lymphatic drainage massage, is a specialized form of therapy designed to support healing and recovery after cosmetic procedures such as liposuction, tummy tucks, breast augmentations, Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs), and facelifts. This gentle massage technique helps manage swelling, improve circulation, and reduce discomfort, allowing the body to heal more effectively.

Description of the Massage

The massage uses light, rhythmic, and precise strokes to encourage the natural flow of lymphatic fluid.

The session typically begins with a gentle assessment of the surgical areas, followed by targeted movements around the treated regions to decrease swelling and minimize the risk of fluid accumulation or fibrosis (scar tissue formation). Each session is tailored to your unique procedure and recovery progress, ensuring the utmost care and comfort.

Benefits of Post-Op Plastic Surgery Massage

Reduces Swelling and Bruising: Helps decrease post-surgical inflammation and discoloration for a smoother recovery.

Prevents Fibrosis: Minimizes the development of hard, uneven tissue beneath the skin.

Improves Circulation: Enhances blood flow to promote faster healing and skin regeneration.

Pain Relief: Relieves discomfort by soothing tense areas and alleviating pressure caused by fluid retention.

Enhances Surgical Results: Helps achieve smoother, more natural-looking contours and shapes.

Boosts Immunity: Stimulates the lymphatic system to flush out toxins and support overall well-being during recovery.

Suggestions and Tips for Optimal Results

Start Early: Begin massages as recommended by your surgeon, typically 3-5 days post-surgery.
Consistency is Key: Schedule regular sessions, as frequent massages during the initial weeks yield the best results.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to aid the lymphatic system in flushing out toxins.
Wear Compression Garments: Follow your surgeon’s guidance on wearing compression garments to support healing and reduce swelling.
