- 2 min read
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system, helping to reduce bruising and swelling, speed up recovery, and improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks. It also alleviates post-operative pain and helps regain flexibility and sensation in the treated area, promoting overall well-being.

Recommendations: Treatments can be booked 2 to 6 days post-op, with 3-4 sessions per week and a minimum of 15 sessions. In that case your body can drain back to back for 15 days and believe me you will need it !
Always consult with your doctor before booking.

Fibrosis
Fibrosis treatment after surgery can take weeks or months. It’s important to follow the surgeon’s recommendations, as fibrosis may not always be avoidable, but lymphatic drainage can help reduce pain and improve the skin's appearance.
Benefits of Post-Surgery Lymphatic Drainage
Post-operative lymphatic drainage helps reduce fluid buildup, improves blood circulation, reduces pain, and accelerates healing. It is also effective in preventing fibrosis, a hardening of the skin that commonly occurs after aesthetic procedures such as liposuction.
Breast Surgery
Lymphatic drainage is crucial to prevent lymphedema and capsular contracture, a hardening of the scar tissue around implants.
Facelifts
After facelift surgery, lymphatic drainage helps relieve pain and swelling, improving blood circulation and promoting faster recovery.
Liposuction and Tummy Tucks
Lymphatic drainage massages improve circulation and lymph flow, reducing swelling, edema, pain, bruising, preventing or decreasing fibrosis severity, and improving overall results and recovery time.
