Enhance Your Healing, Enhance Your Wellness

Lymphatic Massage at Audubon Facial Plastic Surgery

Intentional, focused recovery from surgery, non-invasive treatments, or simply an intense workout often can make a difference in maximizing your healing. With Lymphatic Massage New Orleans patients can diminish tissue swelling, such as after surgery, or reap the benefits of less inflammation and improved circulation simply for your everyday wellness. The aesthetics team at Audubon Facial Plastic Surgery, led by Dr. Claire Melancon, is excited to offer patients a valuable tool in maximizing their recovery through facial lymphatic massage.

What is Lymphatic Massage?

Lymphatic massage, also known as lymphatic drainage massage, can reduce swelling associated with lymphatic system issues, whether due to medical or cosmetic treatments. This massage technique involves gentle manipulation of target areas to encourage the flow of lymph toward regions with healthy lymph vessels.

Lymphatic Massage Benefits

As a key part of the body’s optimal function, lymphatic drainage is important to keep us healthy and feeling our best. Especially at times when our body’s function may be hindered or just when we want an extra boost of wellness, lymphatic massage can add an extra layer of healing and rejuvenation. Our New Orleans lymphatic massage patients enjoy overall benefits that include:

Reduction of swelling and fluid retention
A calming, relaxing experience
Accelerated healing from surgery, illness, or injury
A complement to other skin treatments or postoperative healing

Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system is a critical component of the body’s immune and circulatory systems and helps to transport infection-fighting white blood cells. Lymphatic massage stimulates this system to ensure the movement of lymph fluid and the reduction of swelling and toxins.

Circulatory System

Lymphatic massage improves blood flow and lessens fluid retention, which can help address issues like swelling, poor circulation, limb heaviness, and fatigue.

Skin

Lymphatic massage can have effects on skin health and appearance by promoting detoxification, reducing puffiness or swelling, and enhancing circulation. It can also improve the skin's elasticity and texture, making it an excellent complement to other skincare treatments.

Lymphatic Massage Candidates

Since lymphatic massage is completely noninvasive and nonsurgical and even offers a de-stressing and relaxing aspect, it is a great option for most patients. Candidates who can especially benefit include those who have had recent surgery (after being cleared by Dr. Melancon), skin treatments, or those recovering from injuries. Patients with vascular conditions or active skin infections should typically not undergo this treatment.

Consultation and Preparation

At your consultation, we can discuss your goals for lymphatic massage and determine if you are an ideal candidate. If you are opting for lymphatic massage in New Orleans to go alongside other treatments such as surgery, body contouring, or skin treatments, we will include lymphatic massage in your overall treatment plan for a seamless, complementary, comprehensive experience.

The Lymphatic Massage Experience

For optimal benefits, your lymphatic massage will be performed by our qualified medical aesthetician. They will use the ideal amount of pressure and targeted strokes throughout the treatment area to ensure the massage is effective and not overly deep or intense. The treatment typically focuses on areas where lymph nodes are concentrated, such as specific areas of the face and neck. Depending on the patient and goals, lymphatic massage will either be performed using gua sha stones or a lymphatic suction device.

Results and Aftercare

For many patients after receiving lymphatic massage, they feel less inflamed and better overall almost right away. For postoperative patients, especially after a facelift, routine sessions are helpful in maximizing healing and diminishing swelling. Improved immune function, circulation, and skin appearance typically take a few sessions to be most noticeable. The recommended frequency of lymphatic massage varies depending on the patient’s needs and could range from two to three times a week for surgery recovery to once a month for general health benefits.
