Why should I have MLD after plastic surgery?

MLD is a compliment to your cosmetic surgery that can really help shorten your recovery time and produce the best results. This specialized form of therapy along with other various treatments can help the lymphatic system flush toxic fluids and jump start the healing process.

How soon after surgery can I have MLD?

This varies, and is something you should ask your surgeon. However, in general, once your drains are removed and your incisions are closed, you can begin receiving MLD with us.

I recently had surgery, how many sessions will it take?

Surgical recovery is a process that varies for every individual. Most people feel relief after the first session, but this doesn’t mean one session will get rid of all your swelling and discomfort. It typically takes a series of sessions over the course of several weeks; the exact number will depend on many factors, including your overall health pre-surgery, what kind of procedure/procedures you’ve had, diet, hydration and more.
