Manual lymphatic drainage is a very good complement to slimming diets as it helps in the elimination of liquids, but also helps to fight cellulite and to tighten the skin, reducing the typical flaccidity that is generated with slimming diets.
On the other hand, drainage has a very important application after weight loss surgery, especially after liposuction. After the removal of fat in liposuction, a large edema is generated and also the skin must undergo a retraction program to adapt to the new volume of the body. In these cases, manual lymphatic drainage is the main technique we have to accelerate the reabsorption of edema and also does not mobilize the skin since the mobilization of the skin in the first days could result in a more flaccid skin, which would worsen the result of the intervention.
