SURGERY ROCOVERY

MLD is the No. 1 sought-after treatment in the increasingly high-tech world of plastic surgery.

So many people decide to get some form of plastic surgery in New York each year.  Unfortunately, bruising, swelling and tenderness are part of the body’s natural response. Manual lymph drainage is a unique therapy, proven so successful at quickly eliminating this discomfort. New York City Plastic Surgeons, recognizing the tremendous benefits, are now recommending manual lymph drainage to their patients to prepare for and recover more efficiently from plastic surgery or reconstructive surgery.

What is Manual Lymph Drainage?

Manual Lymph Drainage is a series of precise, rhythmic hand movements designed to gently stretch the skin, encouraging lymph flow and accelerating the lymph system’s natural healing, restorative and cleansing ability. The treatment is so calming, that patients begin to relax immediately and usually fall asleep, making it a wonderful environment for healing.

How does Manual Lymph Drainage work?

During plastic surgery, pathways become temporarily congested causing excess cellular debris, metabolic waste, dead cells and fluid to accumulate in the tissue leading to swelling and discomfort. The role of the lymph system is to remove this congestion from the affected area as quickly and efficiently as possible. The quicker this happens, the faster overall recovery will be.

This process when left to occur naturally can take many months.

When the lymph system is activated through the hands-on skill of an experienced therapist, the activity within your lymph system is increased by 10-20 times its normal rate, leading to a much faster and overall healthier recovery.

When is the best time to start Manual Lymph Drainage?

Pre-surgery

It is recommended to have treatments prior to and as close to the date of surgery as possible.  Removing toxins and excess fluid in the tissue prior to surgery encourages a faster delivery of fresh nutrients and oxygen, increasing your cell's ability to repair and regenerate much faster after the procedure.  Eliminating toxins prior to surgery also removes the risk of post-surgery complications and infection.

You are already on the road to recovery!

Post-surgery

Lymph drainage treatments can start as soon as the 2nd day after surgery, depending on the procedure and in consult with your surgeon.

My experience has shown the sooner the lymph drainage treatments begin the faster the overall recovery will be.  For a faster and effective recovery, I recommend treatments on a daily basis in the initial phase of recovery.  Manual lymph drainage is suitable for all types of surgery recovery.

Are there any additional benefits from Manual Lymph Drainage?
