SURGERY ROCOVERY

MLD is the No. 1 sought-after treatment in the increasingly high-tech world of plastic surgery. Each year, many people opt for some form of plastic surgery in New York. However, bruising, swelling, and tenderness are common responses of the body post-surgery. Manual lymph drainage is a unique therapy that has proven highly effective in quickly alleviating this discomfort. New York City plastic surgeons, recognizing its tremendous benefits, now recommend manual lymph drainage to their patients to prepare for and improve plastic surgery recovery or reconstructive surgery recovery.

What is Manual Lymph Drainage?  

Manual lymph drainage is a series of precise, rhythmic hand movements designed to gently stretch the skin, promoting lymph flow and enhancing the lymph system’s natural healing and cleansing abilities. The treatment is so calming that patients often start to relax immediately and usually fall asleep, creating an ideal environment for healing.

How does Manual Lymph Drainage work?  

During plastic surgery, pathways can become temporarily congested, leading to the accumulation of excess cellular debris, metabolic waste, dead cells, and fluid in the tissue, which causes swelling and discomfort. The lymph system's role is to remove this congestion as quickly and efficiently as possible, thus accelerating plastic surgery recovery. When left to resolve naturally, this process can take many months. However, when the lymph system is activated through the skilled hands of an experienced therapist, its activity can increase by 10-20 times its normal rate, resulting in a much faster and healthier recovery.

When is the best time to start Manual Lymph Drainage?  

Pre-surgery, it is advisable to have treatments as close to the surgery date as possible. Removing toxins and excess fluid from the tissue before surgery promotes a quicker delivery of fresh nutrients and oxygen, enhancing your cells' ability to repair and regenerate faster after the procedure. This pre-surgery treatment also reduces the risk of post-surgery complications and infections.

You are already on the path to recovery!

Post-surgery, lymph drainage treatments can begin as soon as the second day after surgery, depending on the procedure and in consultation with your surgeon. My experience indicates that the sooner manual lymph drainage treatments start, the quicker the overall recovery will be. For effective plastic surgery recovery, I recommend daily treatments during the initial recovery phase. Manual lymph drainage is suitable for all types of surgery recovery.

Are there any additional benefits from Manual Lymph Drainage?  

Manual lymph drainage, with its gentle and rhythmic hand movements, naturally calms the nervous system and relaxes the body. This therapy also boosts your immune system through its cleansing and detoxifying properties. A healthy lymph system supports better body tissue health and function, positively impacting overall recovery. Backed by over 40 years of documented scientific research, this gentle yet powerful treatment is widely prescribed by physicians and hospitals in Europe and is suitable for all surgical procedures.
