Why Post-Op Care Is Vital?
After surgery your body naturally builds up excess fluid, swelling and inflammation, without professional treatments such as Post-Opertative Lymphatic Drainage this could lead to uneven results, visible irregularities, fibrosis which is hard lumpy and fluid build up.
Post Opertative Lymphatic Drainage is the only proven technique to prevent these issues, making it a non-negotiable part of your recovery journey

Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage
Start within 24 to 72 hours after surgery, but always follow your surgeon's specific instructions. Some procedures, like a tummy tuck, may require waiting until day 3-5.
After cosmetic body surgery your lymphatic system becomes sluggish due to swelling, tissue trauma and fluid build up, give your body a head start by starting your post-op care with post-op lymphatic drainage at our clinic
