Lymphatic Massage: Do We Really Need It?

Lymphatic drainage massage is done to stimulate the motion of lymph fluids throughout the body.

The fluid in the lymphatic structure assists the body to throw the toxins from the body. Building up of the lymph fluid can be caused by certain health conditions. This massage may be good for people who have lymphoedema, fibromyalgia, and other problems.

  • Why Would Anyone Want It Done To Them?  

Heart pumps blood all the time via the vessels. But, lymphatic structure counts on the motion of the smooth muscles to relocate the fluid via the lymph whilst the heart non-stop dispatches blood via the blood vessels, the lymphatic structure counts on the flow of smooth muscles to transport fluid via the lymph arteries.

Normal flow may be interrupted by the person’s health conditions, and this can lead to certain parts of the body to swell up. This is called lymphoedema.

This massage can help with the swelling to go and make the circulation better. This massage is usually but not only done on patients who have had BBL and or liposuction

  • How To Know If It Is Doing Anything?

Patients who get this massage done will see that their swellings goes down in time. However, because everyone is different, everyone’s body reacts differently.

However, if you suffer from lymphoedema, you need to use compression products(you need to ask your doctor which is suitable for you).

If you want to boost the functioning of your lymphatic system and make sure the toxins are out of your body, then you can do these:

  • Drink lots of water.
  • Exercise.
  • Eat healthy.
  • Try not to eat processed food.

If you didn’t have a BBL or liposuction procedure but you feel like you need it. You need to speak to a doctor to find out if it is needed.

  • Can you lose weight?

There are a lot of before and after photos of people who had the massage and it looks pretty good. In fact it does look like they lost weight. But they didn’t lose fat. They aren’t bloated any more or at least most of it has gone and this may make them look like they have gone slimmer. But this is only temporary. 

But, that swelling is a sign that you have a system that is working as it should. It is said that, “Swelling does go in due course by itself, without the need of a special massage.”.

So, at best, patients can feel a lessening of the swelling after their massage, however, this is only temporary. Patients shouldn’t count on massages to lose weight.  

Do you think Kim Kardashian had massages after her liposuction and BBL procedures? She probably did and may be still getting them because her body does look fantastic. It is also said by patients that not only they feel lighter because the oedema has lessened. But they also feel quite relaxed. However, the doctor should tell the patient to get it first and the type of massage that is needed. Because getting a massage has become popular due to some of the cosmetic surgeries, there are people who claim to know how to do it properly, when they don’t know. So do your research before getting a massage.
