The Implications of Opting for Lymphatic Massage After Plastic Surgery Instead of Postoperative-Indur Treatments
Post-plastic surgery, the road to recovery is a critical phase that demands careful consideration and optimal care. Among the choices for postoperative care, opting for lymphatic massage instead of comprehensive postoperative-indur treatments might seem like a familiar route, but it comes with implications that extend beyond the immediate recovery period and may not be in the best interest of a client seeking to protect their body goals and their investments.
Here’s a closer look at what happens when clients choose lymphatic massage after plastic surgery, and the potential repercussions on skin integrity, morphological healing, lymphatic system complications, and overall recovery.
The allure of lymphatic massage lies in its focus on draining excess fluid, reducing swelling, and expediting healing. Well, that’s what we were told. But lymphatic massage was never meant to handle the trauma inflicted by today’s aggressive procedures. In complex plastic surgery cases, relying [solely] on lymphatic massage often leads to what some term “swell hell.” Excessive swelling, left unchecked, hinders proper skin healing and create aesthetic irregularities. Skin doesn’t heal uniformly, resulting in lumps and irregularities trapped within layers undergoing trauma remodeling. This compromises the desired flatness and aesthetic outcome sought after in plastic surgery procedures.
Moreover, the weight of tumescent substances used in certain plastic surgeries exerts undue pressure on delicate lymphatic vessels and valves. Prolonged or excessive swelling caused by inadequate drainage, compounded by the weight of tumescent substances, can overload the lymphatic system. This overload can lead to the breakdown of lymphatic valves, increasing the risk of lymphedema—a condition characterized by persistent swelling due to compromised lymphatic drainage.
Choosing lymphatic massage alone may also prolong the body’s healing process. Without comprehensive postoperative-indur treatments, the body typically takes longer to recover from the trauma of surgery. This delayed healing can limit the range of motion, impeding the restoration of normal body function and flexibility.
Furthermore, other factors like scar tissue buildup, uneven skin healing rates, and unrealistically high client expectations play into the equation. Lymphatic massage, while beneficial for mild cases and general wellness, does not adequately address these complexities associated with advanced plastic surgery procedures.
In contrast, comprehensive postoperative-indur treatments offer a multifaceted approach tailored to the intricacies of post-plastic surgery care. These treatments encompass specialized therapies, advanced technologies, personalized rehabilitation, scar management, and holistic healing. They address the multidimensional aspects of recovery, optimizing healing, reducing complications, and improving long-term outcomes.
While lymphatic massage serves a purpose, its limitations become apparent in the context of intricate post-plastic surgery care. Opting for comprehensive postoperative-indur treatments significantly mitigates the risks associated with swelling irregularities, lymphatic complications, delayed healing, and compromised aesthetic outcomes, ensuring a more effective and satisfactory recovery journey after plastic surgery.
