Cosmetic Surgery Recovery
This specialised appointment focuses on enhancing your recovery process following cosmetic surgery through targeted lymphatic massage and scar management. Lymphatic massage assists in reducing swelling, promoting healing, and improving circulation, which is essential after surgery.
During your session, Sarah your specialist therapist will employ gentle, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system, helping to flush out toxins and excess fluids. This technique not only aids in alleviating discomfort but also contributes to a more streamlined recovery experience.
**Reduces Swelling**: Helps decrease post-operative swelling by promoting lymphatic drainage.
**Enhances Healing**: Accelerates the healing process by improving circulation and nutrient delivery to tissues.
**Alleviates Discomfort**: Relieves pain and discomfort associated with post-surgical recovery.
**Improves Scar Appearance**: Softens and flattens scar tissue, making scars less noticeable.
**Boosts Immunity**: Supports the immune system by aiding the removal of toxins from the body.
**Increases Range of Motion**: Helps restore mobility and flexibility in the affected areas.
*Promotes Relaxation**: Provides a calming and soothing experience, reducing stress and anxiety post-surgery.
**Customises Treatment**: Tailored techniques address individual recovery needs and concerns.
**Supports Overall Well-Being**: Contributes to a holistic recovery approach, both physically and emotionally.
​
Additionally, we will incorporate specific scar work to minimise the appearance of surgical scars. Techniques may include soft tissue manipulation and the use of silicone gel sheets or other recommended products to enhance scar healing.
