Post-Liposuction Recovery: Estherian’s Massage Therapy

Lipo or liposuction is a type of cosmetic surgery. In this procedure, certain areas on the body are targeted, including some places like the stomach and hips, to contour. Liposuction alone isn’t considered a weight loss surgery. Its primary purpose is to reduce the stubborn fat in specific areas of the body through suction. The recovery can take time, but a post-liposuction massage can ease things significantly. 

Today’s blog focuses on the post-aesthetic recovery of the liposuction procedure. It also offers a detailed look into why post-liposuction edema or swelling occurs and how it can be tackled effectively through Estherian’s specialized massage therapy approach. 

What is Post-Liposuction Edema?

While liposuction’s main purpose is to contour and slim out certain parts of the body, it is essential to consider that the liposuction recovery process will include some swelling. This post-liposuction edema occurs because the body is put through significant strain during the surgery. 

A sterile cannula is used to eliminate the subcutaneous fat under the skin from certain parts of the body. This causes trauma to the body. This can result in some swelling. 

One of the main reasons swelling occurs after this procedure is the use of tumescent fluid. This fluid is part of the procedure. It is a saline solution that helps with numbing and prevents the loss of blood, which makes this procedure painless. 

Now, even though the human body can absorb all the extra fluid, that still takes time. And, until that happens, there will be some swelling post-liposuction. 

Important note: If a patient gets liposuction on more than one part of the body, the swelling will be considerable.

Why is a Lymphatic Drainage Massage Important? – The Science Behind It

Lymphatic drainage massage as a post-liposuction massage is one of the key methods to keep the swelling in the body under control. In a way, this post-surgery massage plays a key role in allowing your body to heal faster and more effectively. 

A lymphatic drainage massage is a form of manual therapy. It aids in the drainage of fluids accumulated in the body’s lymphatic system. Hence why it plays a crucial role in reducing swelling.

A properly functioning lymphatic system contributes to strengthening our immunity, rids our body of toxins, and prevents overall fluid accumulation, and any blockages can lead to lymphedema (swelling) and other health issues.

The way this massage aids in edema-reduction is that the massage therapist employs gentle but rhythmic massage movements that move and manipulate the skin to promote the enhanced flow of lymph fluids and entirely reduce the chances of buildup. 

You should talk to your doctor before getting a lymphatic drainage massage. Additionally, you should acquire the services of a licensed professional for successful results. 

Estherian’s Specialized Massage Therapy Approach

Now, let’s discuss how the Estherian Clinic uses its specialized lymphatic drainage massage to aid the rehabilitation process of the body after liposuction.

• The trained massage therapists take special care to focus on modifying their massage techniques depending on the type of surgery that took place. 
• Our clinic has a dedicated staff to carry out massage therapy as soon as needed after the surgery to accelerate the patient’s healing process. 
• Ranging between 5 to 10 sessions, this massage lasts half an hour to a full hour and is required to be done daily for about a week immediately after the cosmetic surgery, and is reduced to a few times a week eventually.
