Blue Lotus Wellness provides expert lymphatic drainage (Manual Lymph Drainage) following aesthetic surgeries and procedures to the body and face.
Most surgeries result in a temporary increase in fluid accumulation in and around the surgical region, but aesthetic surgeries, especially abdominoplasty and liposuction, are particularly stressful to our lymphatic system.
Our superficial lymphatic vessels lie just underneath the skin and are damaged and removed during liposuction. Surgical incisions can sever the lymph vessels as well. Swelling accumulates quickly and the now compromised lymphatic system can no longer handle the increased load of fluid.
Dr. Margaret Latham has advanced training in lymphatic and fluid management techniques as well as first hand experience with multiple procedures.
Lymph drainage techniques help to increase the speed of fluid removal, reroute fluid to areas of intact lymph vessels, and stimulate re-connection of lymph vessels to one another and through scars. The techniques also have the bonus effect of pain relief through nervous system sedation.

Dr. Margaret customizes all treatments based on your needs at each visit. As a physical therapist, she will also teach you how to perform techniques on yourself, manage scars, and safely return to activity. As your recovery progresses, Dr. Margaret can add soft tissue mobilization techniques to help reduce pain and improve your overall mobility.
"Dr. Margaret gave me some great advice about my issues from scoliosis to help me get started on my wellness plan."
