Please see my FB page "Lymphatic Drainage Therapy San Fernando Valley". You're investing in yourself & are saving up for cosmetic surgery. It's time to look better, feel better, and to get that boost of self-esteem so you can go out into the world with a renewed sense of confidence! It is equally important to invest in your after-care if you want optimum results from your plastic surgery. Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (MLD) can give you those optimum results. It is not massage. This is a gentle skin-stretching therapy that speeds your healing time, speeds up the movement of lymphatic fluid and fats from swollen areas, decreases pain, and reduces scarring & swelling. Please note that MLD does NOT involve pushing deeply at open incisions to push fluids out of the body! If someone gave you that type of "treatment", you did not go to a professional. You should schedule your first MLD session 2-4 days after surgery or as soon as your drainage tubes are out. Depending on how quickly you heal, & the amount of bruising & swelling you have, you may need MLD 2x/week for up to 8 weeks. Some clients call me for their first session several weeks after surgery when they are experiencing lumps and fibrosis at the surgical site. This is very late, makes my job harder, and delays your overall healing by several weeks. It is very important to start MLD after-care right away. If you have had a minimal procedure, you can start with a package of 3 sessions, then pay for individual sessions after that. If you have had more extensive surgery, your package covers 6 sessions, and then you can pay for individual sessions after that. NOTE: It is impossible to predict how quickly you will heal, but be aware that you may need several weeks of twice weekly appointments. I am one of only two mobile certified lymphedema therapists in the San Fernando Valley, and the only one covering the Santa Clarita Valley. I use the Vodder method as taught at the Klose Training Institute, founded by Guenter Klose. I have a total of 198 hours of study in this specialized modality. Be confident that you are in good hands as you heal from your elective procedures! |
