At least 4-6 treatments are also recommended post-op, which can start 24-hours after surgery (with surgeons approval), and is ideal at this time as depending on which surgery you have – but you may still have ‘drains/tubes’ in your abdomen and groin which we can use to give you a more hi-definition look Post-Op.
If you opt for surgery abroad, then we can start just as soon as your fit to fly and return home again.
The surgeries incisions can damage the lymph vessels, which can depress the function of the lymphatic system. It takes about 2 weeks for these vessels to start to regenerate naturally, so in this case, MLD is used to stimulate the temporary rerouting of lymph to functional vessels and nodes and reduce the swelling, pain, bruising or chance of seromas and fibrosis.
To get the best results from a procedure and see visible results, recover quicker – Lymphatic Drainage Massage is really a no-brainer.
Why would you not want the best aftercare following an expensive cosmetic surgery? MLD is proven to aid in healing and the successful outcome following many types of cosmetic procedures.
Procedures that Lymphatic Drainage Massage can help with:
· Abdominoplasty (tummy tucks, full or mini, Mummy Makeovers)
· Fat re-modelling and BBL (Brazilian butt lifts)
· Liposuction / Vaser Lipo / 360
· Breast augmentations or reductions
· Breast reconstructions / Lollipop/ Anchor Lifts
· Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
· Facelifts
· Forehead/brow lifts
· Limb Amputation
If you have multiple procedures simultaneously (liposuction, tummy tuck, lifts and re-modelling, mummy makeover etc), Lymphatic Drainage Massage will be even more necessary to address swelling and associated tissue hardness.
Discomfort, swelling and bruising are common after these procedures and the flow of lymph can be seriously compromised by surgery, which can result in pockets of fluid, seromas, fibrosis, dimpled/uneven skin, scar tissue along with the general soreness and bruising you may feel in your stomach, buttocks and thighs.
Choosing to have cosmetic or reconstructive surgery is perhaps one of the most difficult decisions you will ever make. Putting time into researching the best surgeons and clinics is arduous enough, but did you consider the Pre-op alignment and Post-op after care? Who can help with swelling, bruising, muscle imbalances and scar tissue that risks all the benefits of the surgery you just received?
We are here to help your healing, with a very gentle and experienced touch
We have devised a comprehensive Pre-op alignment and Post-op after care treatment plan, suitable for all clients in need of lymphatic drainage massage.
Suggested Pre-Post Op Care Package
Could include
Pre-Op: Minimal 2 sessions (60/90 mins each) of Tailored Remedial Massage and alignment, followed by Pre-Op preparatory Massage
Post-Op: Minimal 6 sessions (60 mins each) of Lymphatic Drainage Massage, in this critical recovery phase.
You can then continue your aftercare package ad-hoc as long as you like– for optimal results and fine tuning.
Once your Lymph system has fully recovered, and your feeling less sore, say a month after surgery, we can also test to see if your ready to progress onto the next phase of treatment – smoothing out the lumps and bumps, breaking down of scar tissue, soft tissue manipulation/wood therapy, treating muscle imbalances, postural alignment and skin toning and contouring.
