What is Manual Lymph Drainage?
Manual Lymph Drainage is a series of precise, rhythmic hand movements designed to gently stretch the skin, encouraging lymph flow and accelerating the Lymph System’s natural healing, restorative and cleansing ability.
How does Manual Lymph Drainage work?
During Plastic Surgery, pathways become temporarily congested causing excess cellular debris, metabolic waste, dead cells and fluid to accumulate in the tissue leading to swelling and discomfort. The role of the Lymph System is to remove this congestion from the affected area as quickly and efficiently as possible. The quicker this happens, the faster overall recovery will be.
This process when left to occur naturally can take many months.
When the Lymph System is activated through the hands-on skill of an experienced Therapist, the activity within your Lymph System is increased by 15-20 times its normal rate, leading to a much faster and overall healthier recovery.

When is the best time to start Manual Lymph Drainage?
Pre-surgery
It is recommended to have treatments prior to and as close to the date of surgery as possible.
Removing toxins and excess fluid in the tissue prior to surgery encourages a faster delivery of fresh nutrients and oxygen, increasing your cells ability to repair and regenerate much faster after the procedure.
Eliminating toxins prior to surgery also removes the risk of post-surgery complications and infection.
You are already on the road to recovery!

Lymph Drainage treatments can start as soon as the 2nd day after surgery, depending on the procedure and in consult with your Surgeon.

Satisfied Manual Lymph Drainage NYC Patient Testimonial
I recently went to a New York City Plastic Surgeon to repair a procedure I had performed in Colorado. I had never before heard of a Lymph Massage Practitioner; however, my Plastic Surgeon enthusiastically encouraged me to contact Adrienne Keegan for the sole purpose of speeding up my healing process and greatly reducing my swelling.
The change was nothing short of amazing and quite dramatic. I continue to heal from this procedure and have had 3 additional sessions since then to help with the discoloration.
For anyone contemplating a surgical procedure where inflammation, swelling, and hyper pigmentation may occur, I would wholeheartedly recommend Adrienne to help in the healing process.
