Post-Procedure Lymphatic Support

Lymphatic recovery after cosmetic surgery

Supporting recovery after surgery or medical procedures

Surgery takes a toll on your body. Even when everything goes well, you’re left with swelling, fluid retention, and tissues that need time and support to heal properly.

Post-procedure lymphatic support helps your body recover more comfortably and efficiently. By encouraging lymphatic flow and reducing fluid buildup, we support natural healing while improving comfort during recovery.

Manual lymphatic drainage is clinically proven to reduce post-operative swelling and support tissue healing. Start your recovery faster.

Reducing fluid buildup and supporting lymphatic function helps your surgical results show through sooner and look their best.

Many clients experience significant relief from post-operative tightness, heaviness, and discomfort following lymphatic drainage.

We coordinate with your surgical team to ensure our treatment complements your recovery plan and post-op guidelines.

Ongoing
Long-Term Support
Lipoedema is a chronic condition that benefits from ongoing management. Regular maintenance sessions combined with your self-care routine help manage symptoms long-term.

Lipoedema is often misdiagnosed or dismissed. If you suspect you have lipoedema, our specialist consultation will help you understand your condition and create an effective management plan.

Q & A

Ideally within 1-2 weeks of your procedure, though this depends on your surgeon’s guidance. Some surgeons recommend starting as early as 3-5 days post-op. Always follow your surgeon’s specific instructions.

This depends on your procedure and how you’re healing. Most clients benefit from 6-8 sessions. More extensive procedures or slower healing may require additional sessions.

Yes. We’re happy to communicate with your surgical team and can provide progress updates if requested. Please bring your post-op guidelines to your first appointment.

No — post-procedure lymphatic drainage uses very gentle pressure. It should not cause pain. If you experience discomfort, please tell your practitioner immediately.

Yes. We work around drains (if still in place) and can treat with or without compression garments depending on your surgeon’s instructions. We’ll adapt our technique to your current recovery stage.

Absolutely. Many clients travel abroad for surgery. Book your post-op appointments before you leave so you have support arranged for when you return. We recommend scheduling your first session for 5-7 days after your return.

Currently, all treatments take place at our clinic. However, we understand mobility can be limited post-surgery, so we offer ground-floor access and flexible appointment times to accommodate recovery needs.
