Their goal is to help rid the body of toxins and waste. After plastic surgery, the lymph channels are typically disrupted, which can take up to three months to heal. While these are fine, they can also cause bruising and soreness.

Patients need to seek professional massage therapy or licensed Estheticians after they have had surgery to avoid experiencing severe pain and stiffness for months or even years.
