After surgery, a recovery process occurs, along with inflammation and edema, which, combined with the characteristics of the technique used, cause pain. Due to the mediators of inflammation, the lymphatic vessels are "slowed down".

With manual lymphatic drainage, we can help "unblock" this slowdown, reducing the edema in the area, improving the transit space, and therefore the tissue experiences less stress, thus decreasing the possibility of infections and healing problems, as well as reducing pain, improving skin condition, etc.

In addition to manual lymphatic drainage, the use of a compressive garment that fits the targeted area should be considered.
