Recovery after surgery is a crucial phase in your wellness journey. At Vanity Wellness and Body, we understand the challenges that come with post-operative care, and that’s why we’re thrilled to introduce you to a service that can make a significant difference in your recovery process: Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage. What is Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage? Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage is a specialized therapeutic massage technique designed to promote the natural drainage of lymph, a fluid that carries waste products away from tissues and back toward the heart. This gentle and targeted massage is particularly beneficial for clients who are two weeks post-op or less. How Does it Work? After surgery, the body may experience swelling and inflammation. Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage focuses on directing excess fluid away from the surgical site, reducing swelling and promoting a faster healing process. Our certified and experienced therapists use gentle, rhythmic movements to encourage the natural flow of lymphatic fluid, providing comfort and support during your recovery journey. Benefits of Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage Services 1.

Our specialized massage techniques target areas of swelling, helping to alleviate discomfort and restoring a sense of normalcy to your body. 3. Improved Circulation Enhancing lymphatic circulation also boosts overall blood circulation. Improved blood flow means better oxygen and nutrient delivery to the cells, contributing to the healing process and reducing the risk of complications. 4. Scar Tissue Management Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage can aid in managing and minimizing the formation of scar tissue. By promoting proper fluid movement, the service supports a smoother healing process, potentially reducing the visibility of scars. Who Can Benefit? Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage is tailored for individuals who are two weeks post-op or less, regardless of the type of surgery. Whether you’ve undergone cosmetic surgery, orthopedic procedures, or other surgeries, this service can be a valuable addition to your recovery plan.
