At DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Boston, MA, our plastic surgeon, aesthetic nurses, and aesthetician often recommend facial lymphatic drainage to stimulate your lymphatic system into increasing blood flow and reducing tissue inflammation
What Is Lymphatic Drainage?
A lymphatic drainage massage is a post-surgical treatment that helps to relieve swelling and discomfort following a surgical procedure. The process of lymphatic drainage releases toxins and expedites healing. After cosmetic or plastic surgery, our aesthetician can offer lymphatic drainage as a part of your treatment plan so that you can feel better and recover more quickly.
What Does a Lymphatic Drainage Treat?
Ideal candidates for a lymphatic drainage are those who have recently suffered from an illness or an invasive facial aesthetic procedure that has or could potentially cause pain or swelling. Our team recommends lymphatic drainage to any of our patients who will be undergoing a minimally invasive or surgical procedure, and who could benefit from a release of toxins and a decrease of swelling or discomfort.
What Can I Expect After Lymphatic Drainage?
After lymphatic drainage at DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Boston, MA, you may experience a sense of relaxation, lightness, and improved circulation. Mild fatigue or thirst is also normal, so staying hydrated and resting as needed is recommended. While many clients feel immediate benefits like reduced swelling and improved skin tone, full results often become more apparent after a series of treatments. Our team is here to guide you on post-treatment care to maximize your outcomes.
What Are the Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage?
Lymphatic drainage is a therapeutic treatment that is especially beneficial after facial surgery to enhance recovery and improve overall well-being. At DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Boston, MA, this gentle lymphatic drainage technique is used to stimulate the lymphatic system, helping to speed up the removal of waste and reduce swelling.
Key benefits of lymphatic drainage include:
- Reduction of swelling
- Accelerated healing
- Pain relief
- Promotes relaxation and stress relief
How Is a Lymphatic Drainage Massage Performed?
Your massage may take place immediately following your surgical procedure while you rest and recover. For follow-up or additional massages, you will lie down in one of our private treatment rooms for about an hour during your treatment. Using light pressure and professional techniques, a member of our team will carry out your massage while you inhale and exhale deeply. Using gentle but moderate pressure, we will engage your diaphragm muscles. Depending on the type of cosmetic surgery you recently had, we will instruct you on how best to relax and position your body during treatment. The massage may include parts of your neck, abdomen, legs, and back.
