Introduction
Whether you underwent surgery or have general fluid retention issues, dealing with a swollen or bloated body, face, or neck, and recovering from certain surgeries can be frustrating and uncomfortable. After you receive surgery, your lymphatic system can swell due to the increased fluid and cellular waste initiated by tissue trauma, resulting in heavy discomfort. Receiving a lymphatic drainage massage is a common way to relieve this discomfort. Receiving a lymphatic drainage massage can help ease recovery after surgery, boost your immune system, and support your body’s natural detoxification.
A lymphatic drainage massage is a non-invasive, gentle, specialized skin massage performed on patients with lymphedema, an accumulation of fluid buildup and swollen tissues, that moves excess fluid back into the lymphatic system to reduce swelling (edema), boost immunity, detox your body, and overall relax targeted parts of your body, face, and neck under stress.
During a lymphatic drainage massage at Kassir Plastic Surgery in Manhattan, New York, and New Jersey, we use soothing, rhythmic, intentional hand movements around the areas containing your main lymph nodes to stimulate lymph flow within the lymphatic system. This encourages lymph fluid to move toward lymph nodes, where it is filtered and released from the body, with waste and toxins eliminated.
