Post Surgery Lymphatic Drainage

 

Post-Surgery Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, specialized massage technique designed to support the body’s natural healing process after surgery. By stimulating the lymphatic system, this treatment helps reduce swelling, minimize discomfort, and accelerate recovery. Whether you’ve undergone cosmetic surgery, orthopedic procedures, or other medical treatments, lymphatic drainage can promote a smoother and more comfortable healing experience. 

At Healing Your Health we provide post surgery lymphatic drainage in the form of massages that gently reduce the build up of excess fluid towards working lymph vessels and lymph nodes so they can get rid of toxins in your body.

How Does It Work?

The lymphatic system collects your lymph and brings it back to your heart. However, this process can sometimes become disrupted after surgery where lymph nodes are removed.

When this happens, swelling can occur and this is where we can help.

Our massage techniques move the built up fluid back to areas where they can naturally be drained by the body.

This results in reduced swelling and generally feeling better with a  smoother and more comfortable healing experience. 

Treatable Areas

All areas of the body can be treated with a manual lymphatic drainage massage and typically will reduce swelling around 24 to 48 hours after the massage has taken place.

MLD treats the following post surgery to aid recovery:

Reconstruction breast cancer.

Mastectomy.

Lumpectomy.

Knee Arthroplasty.

Hip Arthro-plasty.

Transpant.

The Procedure

The massage will involve light pressure and specifically targeted massage techniques to prepare and clear the your lymphatic system.

The lymph nodes are usually massaged initially such as your armpits, neck and with your consent your groin area.

From there, they massage the excess fluid towards the lymph nodes to allow it to drain.
