Post Surgery Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Lymphatic Massage Is Essential After Cosmetic Surgery

 

After undergoing cosmetic surgery, such as liposuction, tummy tuck, BBL, or facelift, Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) plays a key role in your recovery and overall results. This gentle, specialised massage helps your body heal faster, feel better, and look its best by supporting your natural detox process.


Benefits of Lymphatic Massage Post-Surgery:

​

  • Reduces Swelling & Bruising

  • Helps move excess fluid and blood buildup out of the body, speeding up visible recovery.

  • Prevents Fluid Accumulation (Seromas)

  • Encourages optimal lymph flow to reduce the risk of post-surgical fluid pockets.

  • Boosts Healing & Comfort

  • Relieves tightness, stiffness, and discomfort in treated areas.

  • Enhances Final Results

  • Promotes smoother skin, less scar tissue formation, and more sculpted, even-looking contours.

  • Supports Detox & Immune Function Gently flushes out toxins released due to the trauma response of surgery and promotes overall wellness.

​

Treatment Time & Frequency:

 

Session Duration: Typically 30–60 minutes

 

Start: Ideally within 5–7 days post-op, or as soon as cleared our nurses

 

Recommended Frequency:

​

  • First 2–3 weeks: 2–3 sessions per week

Other Post Surgery Inventions

 

As part of your post surgery recovery, The Clinic by La Ross offers a range of different inventions to support you during your recovery to ensure that you achieve the optimal outcome following your surgery.

​

Kinesiology taping

 

Kinesiotaping is a safe, non-invasive technique that uses therapeutic tape to support the body’s natural healing after cosmetic surgery. Applied corrected kinesiotape gently lifts the skin to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and support lymphatic drainage, all without restricting movement.

​

Post surgery benefits:

  • Reduces swelling, bruising, and fluid retention

  • Promotes faster healing and more even results

  • Supports scar reduction and improves skin elasticity

  • Enhances comfort in treated areas

  • Can be used alongside manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) for optimal results

​

Kinesiotaping is especially beneficial after procedures like liposuction, BBL, facelift, and tummy tuck, offering subtle yet powerful support during the healing process.

Important recommendations​

​

  • Rest, but move gently : Light walking improves circulation and helps prevent blood clots - just avoid overexertion.

  • Stay hydrated & eat Clean: Drink plenty of water and eat nourishing, anti-inflammatory foods to support healing.

  • Wear Compression Garments : If provided, wear them as advised to reduce swelling and help your body contour properly. We highly recommend Amy at TheFitting Service (Maidstone based) for all your compression garment advice questions, fittings and purchases. thefittingservice.com
