Post – OP Lymphatic Drainage
Post-Operative Lymphatic Drainage Massage
What is Post-Operative Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Post-operative lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, specialised manual therapy designed to support the body’s natural lymphatic system following cosmetic surgery. During surgery, the lymphatic vessels and surrounding tissues are temporarily disrupted, which can contribute to swelling, fluid build-up and discomfort as part of the normal healing process.
Using slow, gentle movements, this treatment encourages the natural movement of lymphatic fluid, helping to support the body’s recovery. Every treatment is tailored to your stage of healing and is intended to complement—not replace—the advice and follow-up care provided by your surgeon.
Why is Lymphatic Drainage Important After Surgery?
Elevate your next occasion with a unique wellness experience.
The early stages of recovery can involve swelling, bruising and reduced mobility, all of which are normal responses to surgery.
Post-operative lymphatic drainage massage may help to:
- Support the body’s natural lymphatic drainage.
- Help manage post-operative swelling (oedema).
- Improve comfort during recovery.
- Encourage healthy circulation.
- Promote relaxation and wellbeing.
- Support mobility as healing progresses.
- Complement your surgeon’s post-operative recovery plan.
Many patients choose a course of treatments during the first few weeks after surgery as part of their personalised recovery programme.
Why Combine Your Treatment with a Recovery IV Drip?
Recovering from surgery places increased demands on your body. Combining lymphatic drainage massage with a Recovery IV Drip provides a holistic approach by supporting both your external recovery and your overall wellbeing.
While lymphatic drainage massage focuses on supporting the body’s natural lymphatic system, a Recovery IV Drip delivers fluids and nutrients directly into the bloodstream following a clinical assessment. This may be a convenient option for patients who are finding it difficult to maintain adequate hydration or nutritional intake during the early stages of recovery.
Many patients choose to combine these treatments to support hydration, general wellbeing and comfort during recovery.
All IV Therapy is prescribed and administered by qualified healthcare professionals following an individual assessment to ensure it is appropriate and safe for your needs.
