Post Operative Lymphatic Drainage
Post-Operative Lymphatic Drainage in Birmingham
Specialist post-operative lymphatic drainage to support recovery, reduce swelling, and optimise surgical results.
Post-operative lymphatic drainage is a vital part of recovery following cosmetic surgery, including liposuction, tummy tuck, BBL, breast surgery, and facial procedures.
At Restore Harmony in Birmingham, we provide structured post-operative recovery programmes, rather than one-off sessions. Consistent, progressive care supports effective healing, reduces complications, and helps achieve optimal long-term results.
What Is Post-Operative Lymphatic Drainage?
Post-operative Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialised massage technique designed to support the lymphatic system after surgery.
Following surgery, the lymphatic system can become temporarily overwhelmed due to trauma, inflammation, and fluid retention. Without appropriate aftercare, this may lead to:
Prolonged swelling
Fluid build-up (seroma)
Discomfort or heaviness
Tissue hardening (fibrosis)
Delayed healing
Post-operative lymphatic drainage helps the body clear excess fluid, calm inflammation, and support tissue repair.
Why Post-Operative Lymphatic Drainage Is Important
Early and consistent post-operative lymphatic drainage can:
Reduce swelling and fluid retention
Support lymphatic flow following surgery
Improve comfort and mobility
Help minimise the risk of fibrosis
Support optimal contour and surgical outcomes
Manual lymphatic drainage is an essential part of professional post-surgical aftercare.
