Summary

Lymphatic drainage massage is one of the most essential techniques for reducing edema. It is a very gentle, monotonous, slow, rhythmic massage applied to the skin's surface. This technique accelerates the flow of lymphatic fluid, minimizing swelling and providing relief. Frequently used after orthognathic surgery, lymphatic drainage massage helps reduce edema, enhancing patients' postoperative comfort.
