Surgery Aftercare Center in Beverly Hills

Speed Up Your Recovery

After your surgery, it’s common for your body to accumulate fluids in your tissues, causing swelling and discomfort. But don’t worry, there’s a natural way to reduce it: lymphatic drainage massage. This type of massage boosts the flow of lymph fluid throughout your body, which helps to reduce swelling.

It’s generally recommended that you get a massage once or twice a week for the first few weeks after surgery. You may need additional treatments every other week or once a month if you experience significant swelling. Speed up your recovery and return to normal activities as soon as possible with a lymphatic drainage massage which you can get at our surgery aftercare center in Beverly Hills.

What Lymphatic Massage Treats

Not only can lymphatic massages at our surgery aftercare center in Beverly Hills aid healing process, but they also treat a variety of conditions, including:

  • Fluid retention
  • Post-surgery swelling & discomfort
  • Enhanced relaxation & stress reduction
  • Detoxification by promoting lymphatic drainage
  • Improved immune function by enhancing lymph flow

Benefits of Lymphatic Massage

Reduces Swelling

Lymphatic massages relieve swelling by coaxing lymph fluid from your tissues and back to your functioning lymph nodes.

Reduces Pain & Discomfort

If lymph doesn’t drain properly, your lymphatic system may become congested and inflamed, causing painful swelling.

Reduces Risk of Infection

A congested lymphatic system can compromise your immunity as lymph fluid eliminates the body’s waste products.

The Lymphatic Massage Process

01

Preparation & Warm-Up

We ensure our patient is comfortable on a massage table in a dimly lit room to help create a relaxing environment with soothing music if desired. We will discuss any specific concerns or health issues with the patient to tailor the massage accordingly.

02

Massage

The duration of a lymphatic massage session can vary, but they typically last 30 to 60 minutes. We apply light pressure to the lymphatic vessels to increase fluid movement, directing lymphatic flow. We pay special attention to areas of common lymphatic congestion, such as the neck, armpits, groin, and limbs. Our providers adjust pressure and intensity based on the patient’s comfort level and specific needs.

03

Closing

As the massage draws to an end, the intensity of the massage strokes will decrease. Once complete, you will be given a few moments to rest and relax. We will provide post-massage care instructions such as encouraging you to drink plenty of water to promote lymphatic drainage. A follow-up session may be required to maintain the benefits of the lymphatic massage and address any ongoing concerns or issues you may have post-surgery.
