From Surgery to Perfect Definition
Liposuction is one of the most in-demand body procedures due to its ability to sculpt and permanently remove localized fat. However, the success of liposuction does not end in the operating room; it largely depends on postoperative care.
The most powerful tool to transform the newly sculpted body, ensure smooth skin, and prevent imperfections is post-liposuction lymphatic drainage.
At Amaya Clinic®, we emphasize that lymphatic drainage performed by expert hands is the guarantee that the desired body contour will be revealed cleanly, quickly, and without the feared fibrosis.
1. The Postoperative Challenge: Edema and Fibrosis
After liposuction, the body goes through an intense and necessary inflammatory phase. In the areas where fat was removed, the following accumulates:
- Edema: Excess anesthetic fluid and the body’s natural response to surgery.
- Fibrosis: The body attempts to “adhere” the skin to the new muscular planes, creating internal scar tissue (fibrosis), which feels like hard or irregular areas.
If not managed properly, prolonged edema and fibrosis can lead to an irregular appearance, a feeling of heaviness, and unsatisfactory definition.
2. Lymphatic Drainage: The Sculptor of Body Recovery
When applied after liposuction, lymphatic drainage acts as a powerful healing catalyst and body contouring tool.
✨ Key Benefits of Specialized Lymphatic Drainage:
- Goodbye Edema: Stimulates the lymphatic system to mobilize and rapidly eliminate retained fluid, reducing swelling and heaviness.
- Improves Skin Adhesion: Helps the skin properly adhere to the new muscular contour.
- Pain and Pressure Relief: Decompression of swollen tissues significantly reduces discomfort and the sensation of tightness.
3. Post-Liposuction Massage Protocol at Amaya Clinic®
The success of liposuction is based on consistency and proper lymphatic drainage technique.
| Key Aspect | Fundamental Indication |
|---|---|
| When to Start | Lymphatic drainage usually begins between 48 and 72 hours post-surgery, always under the strict indication of Dr. Amaya. |
| Correct Technique | Sessions must be performed by therapists certified in postoperative care, using rhythmic and gentle movements—never painful or aggressive |
| Frequency | Initially intensive (daily or every other day) and adjusted according to progress. A complete treatment may range from 10 to 20 sessions or more. |
| Complementary Therapies | Dr. Amaya often complements sessions with strict use of compression garments and heat or ultrasound therapies to enhance fibrosis elimination. |
Attention!
Excessive pressure or improper massage not only causes pain but can damage tissues, create more inflammation, and even worsen fibrosis. Trust only expert hands.
