Lymphatic Drainage before surgery is very beneficial and can be applied at least at least 24-48 hours and one or two sessions before surgery.  The reason for this is that lymphatic drainage not only drains toxins but stimulates the immune system.  

Surgeons also find it easier to make the incision through clean, well-drained tissue.  This is true in the case of any type of esthetic surgery.
