Lymphatic Drainage
Amber Holistic Harbour
Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Post-Surgery Care (After Plastic Surgery)
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is an extremely gentle but effective massage technique that supports the body’s natural regenerative processes. It is especially recommended after plastic surgery, when the body needs additional support to cope with swelling and accelerate the healing process. As a specialist in this field, with experience and a professional approach, I offer personalized MLD sessions that will help your body regain balance and health after surgery.
Why is it worth using lymphatic drainage after surgery?
After a plastic surgery such as liposuction, abdominoplasty or facelift, the body experiences increased stress in the form of swelling, bruising and excess fluids that accumulate in the tissues. Lymphatic drainage is a natural method that supports the removal of these fluids and minimizes swelling, thanks to which:
– Accelerates the healing and regeneration of tissues,
– Reduces the risk of adhesions and thickening in the surgical sites,
– Reduces pain and the feeling of tension in the surgical areas,
– Helps avoid the formation of fibrous adhesions and unwanted thickenings that can affect the final result of the procedure.
How many lymphatic drainage sessions are recommended?
For best results, a series of lymphatic drainage treatments is recommended. Usually, the optimal number of sessions is 5 to 10, depending on individual needs and the type of surgery. After just a few treatments, you will notice significant improvement in the form of reduced swelling and improved well-being. Regular sessions contribute to long-term effects and support the body in full recovery.
Customized post-operative packages
I offer two great value packages:
– 5 session package (60-min) – ideal for those who have had less invasive plastic surgery. The price is £370, which saves £30.
– 10 session package (60-min) – recommended for those who have had more complicated surgery. The cost of this package is £740, which saves £60.
If you want to try out a single session first, here’s the price:
- 60-min mld session – £80
- 90-min mld session – £110
Each package can be tailored to the client’s needs, and I personally monitor progress to ensure each session is delivering maximum benefit.
K-taping as an add-on
To further enhance the effects of lymphatic drainage, I offer the option of adding K-taping to the lymphatic system or post-operative areas to enhance lymph flow and speed up recovery time. The price for the K-taping add-on is £35.
Contraindications
Lymphatic drainage is a safe and gentle technique, but like any treatment, it has some contraindications. This massage is not recommended for people with:
– Acute infections,
– Heart failure,
– Uncontrolled blood clotting disorders,
– Severe skin inflammation.
I always conduct a detailed consultation before starting the therapy to make sure that the treatment is completely safe and tailored to your needs.
