Pre surgery massages are to give your lymphatic system a kickstart and helping it function optimally which in turn helps improve your immune system, speed up your healing process and reduce post-surgery complications. Surgery causes trauma to your lymphatic system and therefore it becomes comprised and sluggish. Without these pre-surgery massages it will be even more comprised which will slow down your recovery.
