Preparing your body before surgery can play an important role in your recovery.
Our Pre-Operative Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) treatment is a gentle, specialised massage designed to support the lymphatic system before your procedure. By encouraging healthy lymph flow and reducing fluid congestion, this treatment helps prepare your tissues for surgery and promotes a healthier healing environment.
Benefits of Pre-Operative MLD
- Encourages healthy lymphatic circulation
- Helps reduce fluid retention and puffiness
- Supports the body’s natural detoxification processes
- Optimises tissue health before surgery
- May help minimise post-operative swelling
- Promotes relaxation and helps reduce pre-surgery stress
Suitable Before
- Cosmetic surgery (including breast augmentation, breast reduction, tummy tuck/abdominoplasty, liposuction, facelift, eyelid surgery and body contouring procedures)
- Caesarean section (planned C-section)
- Orthopaedic surgery
- Gynaecological procedures
- Other planned surgical procedures (where appropriate)
Your Treatment
Each session begins with a consultation to review your medical history, planned procedure and individual needs. The treatment is gentle, relaxing and tailored specifically to help prepare your body for surgery.
For the best results, treatment is ideally carried out 3–7 days before your planned procedure, although timing may vary depending on your surgery and your surgeon’s advice.
Please note: Pre-operative MLD is a supportive therapy and does not replace medical care. If you have any medical concerns, please consult your surgeon or healthcare provider before treatment.
