Plastic Surgery Recovery
Plastic Surgery Information
You may have never connected the two, but lymph drainage therapy – which is a specialty of Body of Health – is a beneficial treatment for those who have undergone plastic surgical procedures. Some of these include liposuction, tummy tucks, augmentation, and face lifts. What all of these operations have in common is that they result in the damaging of lymph capillaries which are attached to the derma of the skin. This type of trauma can prolong the patient’s recovery time, result in the affected tissues becoming hard and malformed, and the surgical scars forming deep adhesions.
- Reduce swelling, bruising and hardening of the tissues
- Reroute the lymph capillaries to drain in the correct direction
- Help scars become soft and pliable
