Early Intervention: Post-operative lymphatic drainage is often initiated shortly after surgery to prevent excessive swelling and promote optimal healing. Frequency: The frequency of sessions can vary based on the type of surgery and individual needs. Some may benefit from daily sessions initially, while others may have less frequent treatments. Hydration and Movement: Staying well-hydrated and incorporating gentle movement can further support the lymphatic system.

Timing and Frequency

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): This is a specialized massage technique performed by trained therapists. Gentle, rhythmic movements are used to stimulate the lymphatic system and encourage the flow of lymph. Compression Garments: These garments, like compression sleeves or stockings, can help support the reduction of swelling by preventing the accumulation of fluid.

Purpose:

Here are some key points regarding post-operative lymphatic drainage:

Post-operative lymphatic drainage, also known as post-surgical lymphatic drainage or post-surgery lymphatic massage, is a therapeutic technique designed to support the body's natural lymphatic system after surgery. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, filtering toxins, and supporting the immune system. Surgical procedures can disrupt this system, leading to swelling (edema), bruising, and a compromised immune response.
