From swelling to control — this is what proper lymphedema management looks like
Photo 1: The acute phase, where multilayer bandaging is applied to help reduce swelling and support lymphatic drainage.

Photo 3: The maintenance phase, where continued compression management thru Velcro wraps or stockings, or socks help preserve results and prevent fluid buildup.
Note: One of the most common mistakes in managing lymphedema is the use of compression garment without reducing the limb. Proper fit, pressure, and type of garment are crucial for effective treatment and long-term management.
Accurate technique and consistency are key in achieving optimal outcomes.
