pre & post cosmetic surgery
Pre-Cosmetic Surgery
For optimum results, I recommend having your manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) treatment a maximum of five days before your surgery – ideally, two days if possible. Pre-surgery MLD clears metabolic waste from the tissues in preparation for your surgery, and the treatment focuses on the area of the body where the surgery will be performed. The treatment helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system to help calm the body in preparation for surgery and the recovery phase.
Post-Cosmetic Surgery
Post-surgery, I recommend you come for treatment as soon as you can attend – the earlier the better for optimum results. The number of sessions needed will depend on the type of surgery you have had, your health and your body’s ability to recover. In general, treatment can be one-hour sessions, two to three times a week for around three weeks or longer.
Post-surgery, manual lymphatic drainage reduces swelling and bruising, the risk of fibrotic tissue forming, and brings back normal texture, definition, and tone to the skin. It also has a soothing effect that will help with any pain and discomfort ensuring the lymphatic system operates at its best and helps with optimum healing and flattening of scar tissue (for example keloid scarring). As an extra benefit, MLD supports and boosts the immune system helping the body remove toxins and viruses via the lymphatic system to help speed recovery time.
