Comparative Evaluation of Oxygen- and Ultrasound-based Lymphatic Drainage Programs for Postoperative Recovery after Facial Plastic Surgery

Purpose: This study compared oxygen + lymph drainage (OLG) and ultrasound + lymph drainage (ULG) for postoperative recovery following facial plastic surgery. Methods: A total of 16 participants underwent six sessions, and physical indicators were analyzed via repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: Both groups exhibited significant time effects: OLG was more effective in reducing early swelling, whereas ULG enhanced elasticity and moisture in later stages. Conclusion: Structured recovery care was effective after at least three sessions.
