What is Lymphatic Drainage?

Lymphatic drainage massage is a specialized technique designed to optimize the body’s natural lymphatic system—a network crucial for immune function and fluid balance. The lymphatic system works tirelessly to remove toxins, cellular debris, and excess fluid from tissues. Post-surgery, especially in procedures like liposuction or tummy tucks, this system can become compromised, leading to swelling and potential complications like fibrosis or scar tissue formation.

During a lymphatic drainage session, a trained therapist applies gentle, rhythmic strokes and comfortable pressure to specific areas housing major lymph nodes. This technique encourages lymph fluid movement, aiding in detoxification, reducing swelling (edema), and promoting overall relaxation. By facilitating the elimination of post-operative fluids and toxins, lymphatic drainage supports the body’s healing process, enhancing comfort and potentially minimizing recovery time.

Brandon Plastic Surgery is conveniently located 15 minutes from Riverview, 51 minutes from Lakeland, and 60 minutes from Winter Haven.

How Does Lymphatic Drainage Work?

Lymphatic massage works in two steps. The goal of the first step is to release lymphatic fluid from your tissues, reducing swelling and waste. The second step helps move the lymphatic fluid toward your lymph nodes where it can be flushed from the body. Lymphatic drainage can be incredibly relaxing and beneficial to your recovery phase after a procedure – you’ll simply relax at our luxurious Tampa area office while our team performs the procedure.

Enhancing Results with Tools and Techniques

Recent advancements in therapy techniques have introduced innovative approaches to enhance lymphatic drainage. Therapists may introduce specialized tools such as organic cedar wood instruments. These tools can intensify the breakdown of fatty tissue and cellulite, further aiding natural elimination through the lymphatic system. Additionally, treatments like Liquid Sculpt’s proprietary frozen gel, infused with healing herbs and antibacterial properties, complement lymphatic drainage sessions. Such innovations not only accelerate healing but also contribute to a smoother, more sculpted outcome post-surgery.

As recovery progresses, the silicone roller ball technique utilizes cutting-edge compression vibrational technology. This technology involves a 360° intelligent rotating cylindrical roller handle with larger rollers composed of strategically aligned silicone spheres for body treatments, and smaller rollers for precise facial or neck care. These silicone spheres, arranged in a honeycomb pattern with specific concentration and solidity, exert rotational force and pressure to transmit micro-compression and micro-vibration to affected tissues. This mechanical stimulation is unparalleled in comparison to traditional methods like suction traction massage, offering more efficacious results in promoting fluid movement and tissue healing.

Who is a Candidate for Lymphatic Drainage?

Lymphatic drainage massage is a great option for patients looking to relax and recover faster after a surgical procedure. It can also be ideal for symptoms like swelling, discomfort, heaviness, tightness, or stiffness in many different areas of the body. Lymphatic drainage can also be beneficial for a variety of medical conditions, and our team can help you determine if lymphatic drainage is the right option for you during a consultation.

Recovery From Lymphatic Drainage

There’s typically no recovery involved after lymphatic drainage, but we recommend avoiding wearing tight-fitting clothing and drinking plenty of water to help flush out lymphatic fluids. Additionally, avoid caffeine and alcohol for the first 24 hours. Although resting is important, we also recommend doing some light exercise like walking to help boost circulation and promote drainage.
