Post Lipo MLD Massage

Following a surgical procedure, the area affected becomes swollen and the pressure that is created at the site of the surgery causes pain and discomfort. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a powerful technique that involves applying gentle pressure and skin-pulling techniques, which stimulates and encourages the natural movement of Lymph Fluid across the body.

Keep in mind the Lymphatic System is part of the immune system and it’s responsible for removing excess fluid from the body, absorbing fats, and protecting the body against disease. If the body is not able to dispose of the fluid as it should, swelling occurs.

MLD is a highly recommended technique to be applied after a surgery as it can expedite the healing process.

At Feeling Great, our therapists have ample experience with cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, these include:

• Liposuction: abdomen, 360, arms, thighs, chin
• Abdominoplasty: tummy tuck, tummy tuck with muscle repair
• Fat Transfer: Brazilian butt lift (BBL), hip augmentation, facial rejuvenation
• Breast: augmentation, reduction, lift, removal
• Rhinoplasty
• ​Face lift
• DIEP flap

If MLD is not received (or not received in a timely matter) the surgery area may develop fibrosis, term given to the lumps and hard/stiff tissue. The therapist will do an evaluation of the area to check for any swelling before starting a fibrosis treatment.

Fibrosis treatment is provided 21 days after cosmetic surgery combining manual massage techniques & tools* through the recommended treatment plan, to improve or eliminate fibrotic tissue, providing you with a homogeneous texture.

*Note: Only manual work is provided at our facilities. Our therapists do not use post surgery technology.
