The Benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage post Liposuction

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure used to remove unwanted body fat. It involves sucking out small areas of fat that are hard to lose through exercise and healthy diet. It’s carried out on areas of the body where deposits of fat tend to collect, such as the bottom, hips, thighs and stomach and face.

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) can have many benefits after liposuction including:

• Reduced swelling, bruising and inflammation after surgery.

• Improved healing. MLD can help speed up the healing process after surgery.

• Reduced scarring. MLD can help reduce the amount of scarring and nodule buildup.

• Improved skin texture. MLD can help improve skin texture by reducing lumps and improving blood circulation.

• Pain relief. MLD can help reduce pain by stimulating the immune system to function more efficiently.

• Fat absorption. MLD can help the lymphatic system process and absorb fat residues.

Manual Lymphatic drainage can be done as early as 2-3 days after liposuction surgery. However, the best time to start depends on the patient and their surgeon’s recommendations.

How many Lymphatic massages after Liposuction do I need to see the benefits?

Most patients need 4 to 6 sessions of lymphatic drainage massage to remove excessive lymphatic fluid.
