Lymphatic Drainage After Breast Surgery
Breast surgery can be extremely impactful on one’s life and often involves making tough decisions about what is best for you and your body. The spectrum of individual situations and circumstances is never ending but regardless of where you find yourself, one thing that most everyone can agree on is their desire to heal optimally following surgery. Lymphatic drainage after breast surgery can help.
Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage After Breast Surgery
This gentle and extremely specialized massage is the perfect manual therapy following breast surgery. Not only does Lymph Drainage help to heal surgical scars, decrease swelling, and soften tissue; it is also a deeply relaxing, non-invasive and restorative therapy that can play an important role helping heal both physically and emotionally. This method achieves excellent results in optimizing appearances while decreasing pain, tightness and discomfort.
What Kinds of Breast Surgery is Lymphatic Drainage Best For?
Regardless of whether you’ve undergone a mastectomy, lumpectomy, lymph node dissection, breast reconstruction of any variety, radiation, reduction or elective augmentation, lymphatic drainage is right for you.
What to Expect When Having Lymphatic Drainage Breast Massage
Your Certified Lymphedema Therapist will discuss your medical history with you to better understand your personal situation. The therapist will then manually assess any swelling, painful areas or restrictions to the range of motion in your shoulder. The area will then be treated using a very gentle and specific lymphatic drainage sequence to move lymph from the affected area to healthy lymphatic drainage sites. This helps to ease the swelling in your tissues and promotes new drainage pathways. This should be a comfortable and relaxing procedure for you. Communicate with your therapist if you have any concerns during or after your lymphatic drainage massage.
