Consult your doctor prior to booking Breast Surgery Lymphoedema is a common occurrence for those recovering from cancer surgeries, such as breast cancer surgery, making lymphatic drainage massage especially important to prevent this from occurring.  Lymphatic drainage post breast augmentation surgeries helps to prevent capsular contracture, a hardening of the scar tissue around the implants. Lymphatic drainage massages reduce fluid build-up and excess waste that can cause capsular contracture.  Facelifts Facelift procedures cause soreness and tenderness due to the manipulation of skin tissue. Lymphatic massages on the face will soothe the pain receptors and promote faster recovery and reduce swelling by boosting blood circulation. This is done through gentle upward strokes.  Scar massages keep your cosmetic surgery looking natural by reducing scarring. Scar massages also help the movement around scars post-surgery, which is especially beneficial for scars that form after orthopaedic surgeries in the knees and other joints.  Liposuction and Tummy Tucks  Lymphatic drainage massages are beneficial after liposuction or tummy tuck surgery because they help to enhance circulation and improve lymph flow. This helps decrease swelling, edema, scarring from incisions, pain and bruising, prevents/decreases the severity of fibrosis and improves overall results and recovery time.
