MLD Massage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
- After the patient’s surgery, Manual Lymphatic Drainage gently and quickly eases discomfort, reduces swelling and improves a patient’s range of motion.
- Pain with restricted range of motion often experienced by post surgical mastectomy patients can be greatly restored through muscular reeducation and Manual Lymph Drainage therapy.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage After Surgery
After your surgical procedure, you may experience discomfort, swelling or restricted movement. This is a result of the surgical disruption of lymphatic pathways in your body. Your lymphatic system normally removes fluids produced within your body, but this process needs to be re-established after surgery.
The gentle, rhythmic treatment provided by Combined Decongestive Therapy and Manual Lymphatic Drainage ‘reconnect’ the lymphatic pathways which is critical to expediting the healing process.
Most patients describe the treatment as soothing and relaxing, and report decreased swelling, reduced pain, and increased range of motion immediately after treatment.
Our specialists communicate closely with board-certified plastic surgeon Louis P. Bucky, MD regarding patients who will benefit from this treatment and creates a personalized approach for each person.

Plus, the slimming and body shaping results leave clients feeling refreshed and confident.”
