Post-Surgical Swelling & Lymphatic Support

Healing Well Starts with the Right Support

Swelling is a natural part of the healing process after surgery, but when it becomes excessive or prolonged, it can slow recovery, cause discomfort, and impact results. Whether you've had orthopedic surgery, cosmetic procedures, cancer-related surgery, or other operations, your lymphatic system plays a key role in clearing swelling and waste from the body.

Why Does Post-Surgical Swelling Happen?

Surgery often involves cutting through tissues and blood vessels, which leads to inflammation and fluid buildup. When the lymphatic system struggles to keep up with this excess fluid, swelling can linger and even lead to complications like fibrosis (hardening of tissues) or limited range of motion.

The Role of Lymphatic Therapy in Recovery
