LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE, AN ESSENTIAL POST-OPERATIVE CARE
After a surgical act, the doctor indicates to his patient a whole series of recommendations. These are specific treatments that the patient must follow to the letter in order to accelerate the recovery process and avoid the appearance of certain problems.
A good post-operative care partly determines the final result of the operation.
Lymphatic drainage is one of the essential treatments that allows for greater efficiency in recovering from the operation and thus obtaining satisfactory results. Through specific massages, the professional helps the body to recover better and faster. This technique also allows the patient to have an optimal final appearance.
Although surgery is sometimes necessary, it can be invasive on the body. The natural balance is broken as soon as the first incision is made. The body creates a defense mechanism with inflammations to destroy potential disturbing agents and to recover the connective tissue. Surgical edema is therefore a normal response of the body to an intervention.
