LYMPHATIC MASSAGE FAQ
After your plastic surgery procedure in at XSculpt, experiencing symptoms like water retention, swelling in the treated areas is common. These symptoms, known as post-surgical lymphedema, arise due to inflammation and trauma from the cannula used for fat removal. The channels formed by the cannula become filled with fluid, causing swelling in the surrounding tissues. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is crucial in Chicago, Illinois, as it assists in moving this fluid by gently pumping it back into the lymph vessels, thereby reducing swelling, fluid retention, and post-surgical pain.
Without lymphatic massages, these issues could progress to fibrosis (permanent tissue hardening) or seroma (fluid-filled pockets). Dr. Marc Adajar and Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong recommend getting lymphatic massages following your liposuction or other plastic surgery procedures to ensure the best possible outcomes.
It's recommended to start lymphatic drainage massages about three days after surgery for optimal results. Early intervention significantly diminishes bruises, swelling, stiffness, and other common post-surgical discomforts. Even if it's been more than a month since the surgery, lymphatic massages can still provide benefits!
Undergoing lymphatic drainage before surgery offers several benefits, including clearing toxins and potentially reducing infection risks. The number of recommended sessions varies based on individual needs and the extent of the planned procedures.
Lymphatic drainage is generally safe, but there are certain conditions where it is not recommended, such as in the presence of blood clots, kidney failure, heart conditions, or active infections.
Contrary to some beliefs, lymphatic drainage is not a deep massage. It's designed to be a gentle treatment, though it might feel slightly uncomfortable immediately after surgery due to sensitivity in the area. The Vodder Method, a recognized lymphatic drainage technique, is effective in reducing swelling and bruising. It is important to note that deep massages post-surgery are not advisable as they can impede lymph fluid drainage and potentially damage the surgical site.
The cost lymphatic drainage massages at Xsculpt are available in single sessions or packages at a discounted rate.

Please talk to your plastic surgeon to discuss the recommended number of sessions based on your procedure.
