Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage - Recovery Support

Gentle, specialised support for your body while it heals.

After surgery, your body is already doing an enormous amount of work. Swelling, fluid retention, heaviness and a feeling of tightness or pressure in the tissues can all be part of the recovery process.

Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage is a carefully adapted treatment designed to support lymphatic flow and help the body manage post-surgical swelling and fluid accumulation. The movements are rhythmic and intentional, following the pathways of the lymphatic system while respecting tissues that are still healing.

This treatment is performed per zone. Each session focuses specifically on the area affected by your procedure and the relevant surrounding lymphatic pathways. If several areas require attention, we can create an appropriate treatment plan across multiple sessions.

When can it help?

Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage may be supportive during recovery following: cosmetic & aesthetic surgery (liposuction, abdominoplasty, breast procedures, body contouring), orthopaedic surgery (knee, hip, shoulder), gynaecological procedures, general surgery where post-operative swelling or fluid retention is present.

Gentle, but attentive

The lymphatic system doesn’t require deep force — but recovering tissues can be sensitive. I work slowly and attentively, adapting pressure, rhythm and areas treated according to your procedure, healing stage, sensitivity and how your tissues present on the day. The intention is to work with your recovering body, not against it.

A personalised recovery approach

Your first appointment begins with a conversation about your procedure, when it was performed and how your recovery is progressing. Early sessions may be shorter and particularly gentle. As swelling decreases and tissues heal, the approach evolves accordingly.

Massage is not performed directly over open, wet, draining or incompletely healed wounds.

Important before booking

Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage is supportive bodywork and does not replace medical post-operative care. Please follow your surgeon’s instructions regarding when lymphatic drainage may begin.

Postpone treatment and contact your medical team if you experience unusual or rapidly increasing swelling, significant redness or heat, fever, wound complications, unexplained pain, shortness of breath or other concerning symptoms.

Your safety and recovery always come before the treatment plan.
