What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Why is it important?
For faster, smoother recovery after cosmetic liposuction, plastic surgeons often recommend Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD). Here's why:
* Reduced Swelling and Scarring: MLD speeds up healing by minimizing post-surgical swelling and preventing the formation of tough scar tissue (fibrosis).* Stronger Immune System: MLD helps your body clear out cellular waste and reduce inflammation, supporting your immune system and optimizing recovery, especially after major procedures.
- Healthy Lymphatic Flow: Your lymphatic system, a key part of your body's healing process, relies on MLD to maintain fluid balance, absorb fats, and support your immune system.
Ultimately, MLD helps you heal faster, minimizes complications, and leads to a more comfortable post-operative experience."
