Post-Operative Lymphatic Drainage – Facial or Small Surgery

Description

Post-Operative Lymphatic Drainage for Facial or Small Surgery

Our post-operative lymphatic drainage for small surgery and facial procedures supports your individual recovery after treatment. The therapist adapts each session to your procedure, treatment area, and current stage of healing.

After surgery, swelling and fluid retention commonly occur as part of recovery. Manual Lymphatic Drainage uses gentle, specialised techniques to encourage the natural movement of lymphatic fluid. As a result, treatment may help reduce congestion, ease discomfort and support your body’s normal healing process.

How Post-Operative Lymphatic Drainage May Help

Depending on your individual recovery, treatment may help to:

• Reduce swelling and oedema
• Encourage healthy lymphatic drainage
• Support the management of post-operative fluid retention
• Minimise tissue congestion
• Support softer and more comfortable tissue recovery
• Ease feelings of tightness or discomfort
• Assist the body’s natural recovery process

In addition, your therapist can adjust the treatment as your recovery progresses. This approach allows each appointment to reflect how your body responds and what support you need at that stage.

Tailored Post-Operative Care

Your therapist will assess your recovery and choose the most appropriate techniques for your session. Where appropriate, the treatment may also incorporate:

• Radiofrequency
• Tecar Therapy
• Ultrasound
• ILIB
• Infrared Laser

These supportive therapies are included in your treatment, where appropriate, at no additional charge. For example, your therapist may combine Manual Lymphatic Drainage with one or more of these technologies, depending on your stage of recovery.

However, not every therapy will suit every client or every stage of healing. Your therapist will therefore tailor each session to your individual needs rather than follow a fixed treatment protocol.

Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Taping can provide additional support between appointments where appropriate. If your therapist recommends taping, they will explain how it may complement your post-operative care.

Kinesio Taping carries an additional charge.
