The Essential Element of Your Post-Cosmetic Surgery Recovery
Supporting your body’s natural mechanisms during post-cosmetic surgery recovery plays a critical role in optimizing operation results. Among these treatment methods, Lymphatic Drainage Massage particularly stands out. This specialized massage technique, applied by the expert team at Estherian Clinic, is one of the most effective ways to accelerate your recovery after cosmetic surgery.
What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a specialized manual therapy technique designed to stimulate the body’s lymph system and accelerate the elimination of excess fluid and toxins. Applied with light, rhythmic, and directional movements, this treatment supports the natural flow of lymph fluid, helping to reduce edema that forms especially after surgical intervention.
Two Different Treatment Methods Based on Suture Type
At Estherian Clinic, two different Lymphatic Drainage Massage protocols are applied according to the type of surgery and suture variety:
1. Application for Self-Dissolving Sutures
In facelift surgery, eyelid surgery, and other cosmetic surgical procedures in the facial area, self-dissolving sutures are generally used. Lymphatic drainage massage applied after these types of operations:
- Focuses solely on accelerating edema elimination
- Does not require any additional medical intervention
- Is applied with gentle techniques appropriate for the sensitive tissues in the facial area
- Accelerates the healing process and reduces swelling
2. Application for Permanent Sutures
In liposuction, abdominoplasty, breast surgeries, and operations in other body areas, permanent sutures are generally used. Lymphatic drainage massage applied after these types of operations is more comprehensive:
- Applied in conjunction with antibiotic cream
- Sutures are checked by expert personnel during massage sessions and removed when necessary
- Supported with special pill treatment to promote healing
- Accelerates tissue healing and reduces infection risk
