Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery
Integrating MLD therapy in your recovery is an excellent way to start your healing.
​
Reduces Swelling and Bruising – Stimulating the lymphatic system helps drain excess fluid and waste from the surgical site which reduces swelling and inflammation.
​
Pain Relief – MLD decreases swelling which helps to alleviate pain.
Improving Scar Healing – MLD helps minimize fluid around the surgery site promoting less noticeable scars.
​
Faster Recovery – By enhancing waste removal and boosting circulation, lymphatic drainage can accelerate your recovery and help you feel better sooner.
​
First and Foremost – It is essential to follow all postoperative instructions from your physician. Be sure to consult your surgeon before beginning MLD therapy. With clearance from your physician, you can start therapy typically 48 hours from surgery depending on the type of surgery performed. Diastasis Recti (6 pack surgery) and tummy tuck surgery is usually 5-7 days post-op.
WHAT CAN IT DO FOR YOU?
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
Reduces inflammation and fluid, detoxifies, boosts immune system & has a calming effect.
Detox
The lymphatic system is our body’s natural defense mechanism. The main function is to carry white blood cells which are vital for detecting and fighting infection throughout the body.
​
Mobilizes – Stagnant lymph fluid leads to the accumulation of cellular debris putting strain on the lymphatic system. MLD helps to move stagnant lymph fluid.
​
Encourages Drainage – The lymph fluid is directed towards the lymph nodes where it is filtered and moves back into the blood stream.
​
Naturally Eliminates– The lymphatic system is a natural detoxification network that helps the body efficiently eliminate bacteria and other toxins.
​
Infiltrates Invaders – The lymphatic system can tell the difference between cells that are yours and those that don’t belong in your body, such as bacteria, viruses, infections and parasites.
Autoimmune Disorder
People with an autoimmune disorder can significantly benefit from manual lymphatic drainage. Having an autoimmune disorder creates a reduced ability to detoxify effectively, resulting in a sluggish lymphatic system.
​
Reduces Pain – Pain is a common and significant concern associated with an autoimmune disease. MLD therapy can help reduce pain by reducing inflammation.
​
Improves Circulation – One of the main causes of pain in autoimmune sufferers is inflammation resulting from the immune system attacking its own tissues. MLD encourages lymph flow which helps reduce inflammation.
​
Relieves Stress– MLD can help by boosting the production of the feel-good hormones, such as endorphins and serotonin.
​
Supports your Well-Being – By eating healthy, exercising, obtaining adequate rest, reducing stress, practicing deep breathing (diaphragmatic breathing), and working on healing your gut, you can enhance the benefits and achieve even greater results by combining these with MLD.
Relaxation
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is gentle and rhythmic and uses light pressure and slow repetitive movements. It is a non-invasive technique doing wonders on the inside all while relaxing your body.
​
Nerves – MLD reduces the sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous system, while enhancing the parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system. This promotes relaxation and a sense of calm.
Gentle – Though gentle, it has a profound impact on our lymphatic system.
​
Breathe – A sense of being able to breathe deeply and unwind.
