Bella Michelle Day Spa offers state of the art technology in Lymphatic Drainage therapy treatments.

Why is Lymphatic Drainage therapy important after Liposuction surgery?

Lymphatic Drainage therapy after Liposuction surgery helps to transfer the fluid by gently pushing it back into the lymph arteries, decreasing edema, fluid retention, and discomfort.

Without Lymphatic Drainage after liposuction, inflammation can progress to fibro/seroma.

 

What happens if a patient chooses not to do Lymphatic Drainage treatments after Liposuction surgery?

 

Patients who opt out of Lymphatic Drainage treatments/massages,  may experience a significantly larger amount of swelling in the treated liposuction area(s).

This post-surgical swelling will also take longer to dissipate without lymphatic treatments, causing delays in a patient’s recovery timeline and cause permanent tissue hardening or seroma (swelling) (pocket of serum).

How long do you need lymphatic massage after liposuction surgery?

Every patient is different, but most doctors advise their patients should begin their Lymphatic drainage therapy treatments/Massage the 4th or 5th day after surgery to obtain the best, and fastest, results.

 

A one hour Lymphatic Massage is recommended once or twice weekly at minimum during the first month of recovery.
