The world’s smartest cosmetic surgery devotees are turning to a near century-old process of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), to speed and aid healing after surgery. This technique is a gentle massage with rotating, pumping movements that help to remove toxins and illness-causing invaders, by encouraging lymph to move through the body. The lymphatic system is responsible for clearing blockages, diseases or infections and also maintains healthy body fluid levels. For recovery time after cosmetic surgery, MLD is the massage that is trusted to heal. 

Following many elective, cosmetic-surgery operations, Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is advised and actually is critical in the healing and recovery process. Surgeries that can benefit from MLD include: Liposuction, tummy tuck, fat removal (360 sculpt), cellulite reduction, excess skin removal, Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), body contouring, body sculpting, breast augmentation, breast reconstruction, rhinoplasty, and reconstructive surgeries (e.g. from injuries). Even cancer patients can gain restorative and nurturing healing, with residual pain being mitigated safely.

General swelling and discomfort will occur at the site of cosmetic surgeries, due to small tears in the surrounding blood vessels and soft tissues, causing fluid to leak into the area. This is an inflammatory response, as the clear fluid is formed by the severed vessels. Infection and pockets of pus may even form at the site of surgery. Extra fluids may indicate the presence of infection-fighting white blood cells, as they become present after any trauma to the body.
 
When combined with compression bandaging, lymphatic drainage massage can reduce swelling in the legs by up to 70%, according to one study. In addition to reducing swelling, lymphatic massage stimulates the lymphatic system to accelerate the recuperation period of fluid to reduce build-up and swelling. Light rhythmic movements stimulate the lymphatic system without pressing hard on the vessel. They make the lymph fluid move easily through the body. A trained practitioner's hands can simply apply pressure to re-stimulate the natural contractions of the lymphatic system. This will move the lymph fluid to the right places and help to flush out toxins and waste materials.
