Lymphatic Drainage
Specialized Manual Lymphatic Drainage is performed by a CLT (Certified Lymphedema Therapist). Gentle, targeted techniques support lymphatic movement and address swelling, lymphedema, lipedema, a compromised post-surgery lymphatic system, and other lymphatic concerns. Therapy is individualized according to medical history, presentation, and treatment goals.
Post-Surgery Lymphatic Drainage
Most surgeons recommend starting Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) within the first week after liposuction and continuing with several sessions. You already paid for beautiful, so protect your investment through prevention. Stagnant lymphatic fluid contains lots of protein, fats, and broken cells- remnants of the medication from the procedure. This can lead to excess inflammation, swelling, fibrosis, and seromas. CLT supports safer, more effective recovery and helps patients achieve the best possible outcomes from their procedure.
If you have already had basic CMLD by a massage therapist without post-surgery expertise and ended up with fibrotic tissue, lumps, and pumps, and you are still swelling after several appointments, book a post-surgery CMLD appointment with a CLT below. Unfortunately, this is becoming increasingly common.
This is no longer pure CMLD, but specialized techniques and tools can still help.
Planning surgery or already recovering?
Contact Advanced Medical Massage Clinic to schedule your post-surgical lymphatic assessment and CMLD appointment.**
** For post-surgery compromised lymphatic conditions, look for a CLT (Certified Lymphedema Therapist) in your area, with specialized clinical education. Your health depends on it. CMLD done by a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) with a basic weekend course in lymphatic therapy is for overall wellness for generally healthy people. LMT is not trained for post-surgery risk assessment, complications, or therapy.
