Pre-and Post Surgery
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Your trusted local partners in wellbeing and recovery. We come to you in Greater and Inner London areas, Herts and Essex.
Recovery is about more than just healing; it’s about restoring your flow.
Surgery naturally disrupts the body's natural rhythm often resulting in heavy swelling and persistent discomfort.
Optimise your body’s natural healing process with specialist Manual Lymphatic Drainage.
Our treatments are designed to accelerate post-operative recovery, reduce swelling, and ensure your body has the best environment for effective, long-term healing.
Surgery is only the first step of your journey; how you recover determines your final result.
Research on Surgery Recovery and Lymphatic Drainage
Reduction in Swelling (Fibrosis): A study in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery found that patients receiving MLD post-liposuction had 40% lower rates of dense fibrosis.
Speed of Recovery: Research in the Journal of Lymphology showed 35% faster reduction in swelling for patients who underwent MLD within two weeks post-surgery.
Scar Tissue Management: Patients incorporating MLD were 60% more likely to experience soft, pliable scar formation.

Facelift & Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
The delicate tissues of the face and eyes are prone to significant swelling and "tightness" post-operatively.
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.
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.
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.
Tummy Tuck, 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 Us?
The Vodder Method: Our clinical approach is rooted in the Dr. Vodder Method, a gold standard of lymphatic therapy. We focus on a meticulous "clear and flow" sequence—first opening the primary lymph nodes before utilizing rhythmic "press, pump, and scoop" movements. by working from the center of the body outward (proximal to distal), we create the necessary space for stagnant fluid to be reabsorbed and filtered efficiently.
Clinical Governance & Safety: With a minimum of five years of specialized post-operative experience, our team operates strictly within a clinical scope. We work in direct alignment with your surgeon’s protocols, ensuring every session is evidence-based and safe.
The Science of Subsurface Healing: We believe in the "whisper, don't scream" philosophy of healing. True lymphatic stimulation happens just beneath the skin’s surface. By avoiding vigorous methods that risk further tissue trauma, we use a precise, light touch that honors your body’s delicate repair phase while delivering a powerful, measurable effect on your recovery.
Investment in Your Recovery
Signature MLD Session | £95 A full hour of dedicated, hands-on clinical therapy. To ensure you receive the maximum benefit, your treatment time begins only after we have settled you into your home sanctuary; set-up and consultation time are always complimentary.
Acute Recovery Phase (Sessions 1-3) | £75 During the very early stages of healing (typically the first 30–40 minutes of hands-on time), the body requires a shorter, more focused stimulus to avoid overtaxing the delicate tissues. These introductory sessions are designed to initiate flow safely and effectively.
Preferred Rates & Packages We are proud to offer preferred pricing for patients referred by our partner surgical teams. For those committed to a full recovery journey, bespoke packages are available at a discounted rate.
