Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
For Pre and Post-Operative Surgery, embrace the healing process with our mobile service to your home in North London, East and Hertfordshire areas.
​​
Lymphatic Drainage has become more recognised in recent years due to its recommendation by medical teams post surgery. The best way to heal is not by rushing, but with stillness and understanding that your body has been through a traumatic process and is trying to recover.
​
Surgery is only the first step of your journey; how you recover determines your final result. Post-operative trauma naturally causes the body to go into an inflammatory state, leading to fluid stagnation, discomfort, and swelling.
​
Because the lymphatic system does not have its own pump, it can become overwhelmed after a procedure. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) acts as a vital facilitator, manually guiding fluid back into the circulatory system. This isn't just a luxury—it is a specialized intervention designed to prevent fibrosis (scar tissue buildup), reduce inflammation, and create the optimal internal environment for your body to heal as intended."
​
You can 'speed up' the recovery process with Lymphatic Drainage, giving your body the best chance of healing.
​
-
Help the flow of lymphatic fluid: The white fluid in our body removes waste product from cells. Having invasive surgery will disrupt our system's efficient function, so this massage when done properly will help the body return to its natural rhythm.
-
Helps preparation for surgery: Lymphatic Drainage boosts your immune system (i.e the white blood cells) in the body, thus enabling its preparation for the event of your surgery.
-
Speeds up healing process: By giving your body the tools it needs to heal, it will respond. Two to three sessions a week can help your body recover quicker than it would usually as we are supporting its circulatory mechanism and allowing your parasympathetic nervous system to become more active and present.
​
-
For Best Results Include Dermalux Flux MD to accelerate tissue healing and reduce post-surgical pain by stimulating cellular activity and blood flow.
​
We have worked with many clients who have had surgery for cosmetic or health purposes including: Face Lift, Blepharoplasty, Liposuction, Tummy Tuck (including Baby 360), Abdominal repair, Brazilian Butt Lift and Breast Lift/Augmentation.

See below how MLD helps each cosmetic recovery
​
​
​​
​
Facelift & Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
The delicate tissues of the face and eyes are prone to significant swelling and "tightness" post-operatively.
​
-
The MLD Advantage: We use strokes to clear periorbital puffiness and facial congestion with a whole body approach.
​
Liposuction & Lipo 360
Liposuction is a major disruption to the lymphatic channels just beneath the skin.
​
-
The MLD Advantage: After Lipo 360 or Vaser, fluid can pool in the flanks and lower back. MLD is essential to prevent fibrosis (hard lumps) and ensures the skin adheres smoothly to the new contours of the muscle, avoiding "rippling" or unevenness.​
​
Breast Augmentation, Lifts & Reductions
Surgery in the chest area often causes swelling that extends into the armpits and sides.
​
-
The MLD Advantage: By clearing the axillary (armpit) nodes, we reduce the heavy, "throbbing" sensation often felt after implants or reductions. It also helps manage the risk of seromas (fluid pockets) around the surgical site.
​
Fat Transfer & BBL
The MLD Advantage: We focus heavily on the donor sites (where lipo was performed) to manage inflammation, while using specialised positioning to ensure the "new" fat remains undisturbed and receives optimal blood flow for survival.
​
Why Choose a Specialist MLD Approach?
​
MLD is a "skin-stretching" technique that works with the lymphatic vessels just below the surface.
​
-
Accelerated Healing: Patients often report a 50-70% reduction in recovery time.
-
Pain Management: By reducing the internal pressure of fluid on your nerves, MLD provides natural, non-medicinal pain relief.
-
Surgical Collaboration: We stay within our clinical scope, working alongside your surgeon’s protocols to ensure your recovery is safe and evidence-based.
​
For standard Lymphatic Drainage our prices are £85 for an hour.
​
Discounts available when reccomended by partner surgical teams.
​
We recommend calling for a initial free consultation to discuss packages for post-cosmetic MLD so we can assess your needs and build your recovery plan.
