Lymphatic Drainage Massage Minimizes Facial Bruising and Facial Swelling Post Surgery

Frequently we receive calls from plastic surgeons, nurses and outpatient surgery centers who focus on medically necessary and cosmetic surgery on the face regarding lymphatic drainage massage post surgery, post liposuction, post face lift, post dental work and post nose job surgery.  Daily they send their patients to our wellness center for lymphatic drainage massage to reduce their patient's swelling, bruising, scar tissue and speed in their healing process post surgery.

Our resident Lymphatic Massage expert and Certified Lymphatic Drainage Specialist, Melissa Gallagher,  offers an assortment of lymphatic drainage therapy protocols, techniques and procedures that easily, quickly and painlessly minimizes facial bruising, facial swelling and minimizes scarring and reduces the redness of scars from 1,2,5,10, 15+ years post surgery

What is Lymphatic Drainage? 

Lymph Drainage Therapy alleviates numerous conditions related to swelling, water retention, edema, lymphedema and physical traumas.  It also addresses pregnancy, including engorgement, sore nipples (transient, chronic), plugged ducts, wounds, fissures, ulcerations, bruises and dermatitis (eczema). 

Lymphatic drainage therapy also can provide relief from chronic inflammation and pre- and post-surgical applications, and can be used for cosmetic applications, such as mastoptosis, scars and traumas.  

The lymphatic drainage therapy Melissa Gallagher uses is a specialized lymphatic drainage therapy tool, called the Lymph-star pro which uses a light frequency/sound therapy to not only stimulate the flow of your lymphatic system but it also helps break up protein clusters that can cause blockages and clog up the Lymphatic System.


For individuals recovering from cosmetic surgery on the face - enhanced circulation and oxygen flow speeds recovery.  It's effect is similar to hyperbaric therapies which speed wound healing through the enhancement of oxygen to the cells of the body.

What are the benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy for post surgery recovery?

Science now shows that Lymphatic Drainage Therapy, or electro lymphatic drainage therapy as this therapy is often called, helps the body responds to certain frequencies in a way that allows a natural health professional like Melissa to:

• Clear lymph congestion
• Reduces swelling and fluid retention from trauma, surgery or lymphedema
• Speeds wound healing 
• Oxygenates the cells
• Detoxifies the skin cells minimizing scar tissue build up
• Reduce fibrocystic conditions
• Promote collagen fiber production
• Reduces fine lines, minimizes wrinkles
• Reduces the appearance of cellulite
• Promote overall wellness

How does Lymphatic Drainage Massage reduce facial bruising and facial swelling after a surgery?

Lymphatic Drainage Massage moves congested or stagnant lymphatic fluid that builds around surgery and incision sites.  By moving this congested fluid, lymphatic massage helps to enhance the circulation and flow of congested cellular matter - often excess blood from surgeries. 
Clients will see a significant difference in the swelling and puffiness of their face, chin or neck after just one treatment.  Facial bruising disappears after 3-4 treatments depending on the extent of capillary trauma.

We recommend clients visit our center every 2-3 days for a series of treatments post surgery.  We see clients just a day after their face lifts, nose surgeries and liposuction surgeries. 

We can work with and around ports and drains and the therapy is pain-free.

How much does lymphatic drainage massage cost?

A single, 60min session is $70. 

Most clients receive multiple treatments.  We offer package specials:
3 pack- $195
6 pack - $360
10 pack - $575
