Liposuction:
*Please arrive with all leaking incisions sanitarily sealed or covered.
During painless Lymph Drainage Therapy at Calm Relief, the lymph fluid is directed toward lymph nodes, not toward the incision. For liposuction, if your doctor requests squeezing excess fluid out the incisions, that “milking method ” for liposuction is not available here.
Softening hard lumps: In post-op recovery, fluid can pool and form hard lumps, internal adhesions or fibrosis (excess collagen mending). Early lymph drainage therapy is crucial, often within the first week, without complications. This allows LDT to gently soften these hard areas, smooth out the tissue, and accelerate healing. The longer you wait to address fibrosis, the more sessions it takes to improve, which increases your expense.
Reconstruction and Partial Mastectomies
Calm Relief has experience with helping clients recover from DIEP flap surgical reconstruction. It doesn’t matter if the surgery is new or old. Pain relief has been experienced either way. If you are unfamiliar, DIEP stands for Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator flap. It’s a breast reconstruction surgery using the patient’s own body parts.
People having mastectomies have shared that just as important as pain relief is the result from a return of sensation to the skin covering the former breast area.
At Calm Relief Massage Therapy, my goal is for your quality of life to improve. You receive a combination of therapies to reduce scar tissue restriction, swelling, and pain relief. Some clients have some normal tissue feeling restored to the area after a series of sessions.
Disclaimer: Because every persons medical history is different, the number of needed sessions and results vary. Calm Relief has a history of very positive quality of life results.
Calm Relief has equipment that has been known to not only calm the nerve pain, but also calms the trauma trigger or emotional reminder of the experience.
Swelling and pain is typically eased.
Package discounts are available. The number of sessions needed depends on your medical history and how well you respond. Each person is different.
The unique benefit of scar therapy is that once the restriction is released, follow-up visits are usually not needed.
