Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) massage can reduce swelling and is especially beneficial to patients after surgery.

Procedure Information

Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) massage can reduce swelling and is especially beneficial to patients after surgery. MLD massage involves a gentle, rhythmic, pumping action. By moving only the skin, the MLD massage stimulates the lymph system by promoting the flow and drainage of the lymph fluid.

Due to the light, rhythmic application of touch in MLD massage, it can also be used effectively to relieve headaches, migraines, sinusitis, bruises, sprains, arthritis, and many other conditions. Contact the Melbourne Institute of Plastic Surgery today for more information.
