Post-Op Lymphatic Massage
Your surgery was only the first step. Your recovery determines the final result.
Whether you have had a tummy tuck, BBL, liposuction, breast surgery or an arm lift, your body needs expert aftercare to heal properly. Post-Op Lymphatic Massage helps reduce swelling, encourages healthy lymphatic drainage, minimises fluid build-up and supports your body's natural healing, delivered in a safe, professional and supportive environment.
A specialised massage designed for healing, not relaxation alone.
Post-Op Lymphatic Massage is a specialised therapeutic massage designed specifically for clients recovering from cosmetic surgery. Unlike a traditional massage, it uses gentle, controlled techniques to stimulate the lymphatic system, helping your body naturally remove excess fluid, reduce swelling and support healing.
After surgery, your lymphatic system works harder to clear inflammation and excess fluid from treated areas. This massage encourages that natural process while helping reduce discomfort and promoting a smoother recovery.
It is an essential part of post-operative care and should only be performed by therapists trained in post-surgical recovery techniques.

Gentle, precise and adapted to your stage of healing.
After surgery, the body's natural healing response causes swelling and fluid accumulation. Your lymphatic system removes this excess fluid, but after major procedures it often needs additional support. Using specialised manual techniques, your therapist gently stimulates the lymphatic system to encourage healthy drainage, carefully adapted to your procedure and stage of recovery.
- Gentle and precise, never deep-tissue pressure
- Designed specifically for healing tissues
- Adapted to your procedure and recovery stage
- Performed with your safety and comfort as the priority
Timing guided by your surgeon, and your body.
The ideal time varies depending on your surgery and your surgeon's recommendations. Many clients begin within the first few days after surgery once medically cleared, but every recovery is different. At your consultation we review your procedure and advise on the most appropriate timing and schedule.
Once medically cleared
We begin only after your surgeon has cleared you to start recovery massage.
The first days & weeks
Gentle, regular sessions during early recovery, when swelling and fluid are highest.
Through your healing
A personalised schedule that adapts as your body heals and your swelling settles.
Recover in the comfort of your own home.
In the days after surgery, travel can be the last thing you want. We bring professional recovery care to you, so you can heal with less disruption and more rest.
