Postoperative Care/ Lymphatic Drainage

This procedure helps remove lymph fluid that has been trapped in the area where your incision was made. The fluid can build up over time and cause swelling or pain. This procedure will be performed after any sutures are removed. You may experience some numbness and tingling during and after the procedure. After plastic surgery, it’s essential to follow specific instructions to ensure your recovery goes smoothly. Your surgeon will give you postoperative care guidelines before your surgery. These guidelines include how long you should wait before showering, what activities are safe, when to begin physical therapy, and more. If you have questions about these guidelines, ask your surgeon
