Thank you for the information, but i think you should of led with "out of your garment"... lol i did it with it then got to the end and heard that. But most def appreciate the information!

[@deniselynn07]

I am a LMT and am certified in MLD. My question is, when I see the client would it be beneficial to also open up the lymph nodes in the groin? To aid I the draining of the lower abdominals? Or is that unnecessary since you are pushing the fluid over/through the watersheds above? Hope this makes sense. Thank you for all your videos and sharing your knowledge and passion.

[@KathleenHelenLisson]

Yes, I do. For more information, watch the demo video here: plasticsurgeryrecoverymassage.teachable.com/p/massage-after-tummy-tuck/

Hello, like the massages, i am wondering if For the under arms, can you still do this if there has been lymph nodes removed from previous surgery?

[@KathleenHelenLisson]

Please please see a lymphedema therapist for your postoperative care

[@mymuscletherapy1557]

The rhythm that you are using seems a little faster than what I am used to. I'm always doing a 3-second interval with each stretch and with each release. Do you find that it isn't as necessary to go slower or were you doing more of a quick demo on where to do hand placements and in which direction to encourage the lymph flow? Thanks for making this available for client education!

[@KathleenHelenLisson]

We learned one second intervals.

[@frasierjacquetta]

Thanks I needed that tip

[@KathleenHelenLisson]

You’re welcome

Should we be sitting up or Laying down?

[@KathleenHelenLisson]

Lying down if it is comfortable.

[@flordylan]

THANK YOU for this!

[@flordylan]

Can we use oils when massaging?

[@KathleenHelenLisson]

@@flordylan no, lymphatic massage is performed with no or very little oil. You need to stretch the skin, not slide along the skin. If shin is really dry, moisturize your hands before the massage.

Hey I only had tummy tuck only and was told no for tummy tuck with no lipo to wait until a month I keep getting mixed reviews. Is it because most ppl automatically get the lipo with tummy tuck .

[@KathleenHelenLisson]

Wow! You can show this video to your surgeon and see if they will let you do self massage

[@idafriedman1449]

Excellent advice

[@KathleenHelenLisson]

If you find you are doing it too hard, please ask your therapist to show you proper MLD at your next massage

[@coralysrodriguez7506]

How would you modify this if lymph nodes were removed as a result of breast cancer?

[@KathleenHelenLisson]

Great question. Please get a professional massage from a Certified Lymphedema Therapist

[@leah81roberson]

My therapist pressed hard on my belly button and now it is so sore. I feel this my have affected my belly button and I have now developed a liquid pocket around my navel and on my right abdomen. Should I feel concerned about this and consult my doctor?

[@KathleenHelenLisson]

It sounds like you are already concerned about it. Yes, please speak with your surgeon.

At this stage, i would want to believe you know what you're doing without watching a video. Makes me not take you serious.

[@KathleenHelenLisson]

Why would you insult people after plastic surgery?
