Understanding the Lymphatic System and How to Heal Faster After Cosmetic Surgery
Monica Skalsky, author of ‘Your Post Mommy Makeover Survival Guide’ and owner of Wrthit
Your lymphatic system is a delicate network—skin-level vessels, deeper lymphatics, and nodes—that clears excess tissue fluid, filters waste, supports immune response, and helps restore balance in your body.
How Cosmetic Surgery Impacts Lymph Flow
Procedures like liposuction, tummy tucks, facelifts, and breast enhancements can disrupt the movement of fluid, often causing swelling, discomfort, bruising, or fibrosis. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)—a gentle, rhythmic technique—encourages fluid clearance, supports drainage pathways, and promotes a smoother recovery.
Real Benefits Backed by Research
Reduces swelling and discoloration—MLD aids lymph flow, easing discomfort.
Minimizes fibrosis and scar tissue—early and consistent sessions often result in softer, more supple tissue.
Promotes smoother surgical results—fluid clearance helps literal contours emerge more quickly.
