Treatments

The recovery process is just as vital as the surgery itself when it comes to achieving optimal results. A well-structured post-operative physiotherapy programme plays a key role in reducing swelling, preventing complications such as fibrosis, and enhancing mobility and circulation. Techniques such as manual lymphatic drainage and targeted therapeutic interventions can accelerate healing, miniseries discomfort, and support the best possible aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

Manual lymphatic drainage is a specialized technique designed to stimulate the natural flow of lymph fluid through the body. It is highly effective in reducing swelling (oedema), relieving pain, and supporting the immune system.

Following surgery, MLD encourages the drainage of excess fluids, significantly shortening recovery time and enhancing comfort. It also plays a crucial role in preventing the development of post-surgical fibrosis, which can affect the final cosmetic results.

Post-Plastic Surgery Rehabilitation

Physiotherapy after plastic surgery is essential to promote healing and avoid complications. Treatments are tailored to:

Reduce swelling and inflammation
Manage pain effectively
Prevent scarring and adhesions
Maintain flexibility and range of motion

By supporting tissue healing and improving circulation, physiotherapy ensures a safe and guided recovery journey, helping patients regain comfort and confidence.

Drainage Taping

Drainage taping is an advanced technique used to support lymphatic flow. Elastic tape is applied in specific patterns across the skin, gently lifting the tissue and promoting continuous lymphatic drainage. This method enhances the benefits of manual lymphatic drainage and can also be used independently to provide ongoing support during recovery.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

Low-level laser therapy is a safe, painless, and non-invasive treatment that uses low-intensity light to stimulate cellular activity. It reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and promotes faster tissue repair.

LLLT is widely used in post-surgical recovery to:

Speed up healing
Minimize bruising and swelling
Reduce discomfort without side effects

Aesthetic Procedures Supported

These therapies are highly beneficial for individuals recovering from a range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, including:

Liposuction
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
Breast augmentation or reduction
Body contouring surgeries

Integrating physiotherapy, lymphatic drainage, drainage taping, and laser therapy into post-operative care supports a smoother recovery with reduced swelling, fewer complications, and improved overall well-being.
