Post Surgery Massage and Ultrasonic Lymphatic Drainage Techniques in Sydney

Post-surgical therapy may help with the overall recovery process and minimise scar tissue formation following cosmetic and medical surgeries.

If you have ever searched for ‘post surgery lymphatic massage near me’, Ashbrooke Cosmetics specialises in treatments that are designed to effectively manage symptoms and support the body’s natural healing processes.

Why Do Post-Surgical Therapy?

Post-surgical therapy may aid with the recovery process and assist with the following:

• Reducing Swelling: Post-surgery swelling is common and can be uncomfortable. Therapies such as lymphatic drainage massages may help reduce swelling by promoting the flow of lymphatic fluids out of the tissues and into the lymph nodes.
• Minimising Scar Formation: The formation of scar tissue post-surgery can potentially affect recovery and the final cosmetic results. Ultrasonic treatments are used with the intent to help break down fibrous tissue and minimise the thickness and visibility of scars.
• Accelerating the Recovery Process: Our treatments aim to support the body’s natural healing capabilities, promoting faster tissue repair and reducing downtime.
• Enhancing Overall Healing: Therapies such as ultrasound treatments and manual lymphatic drainage can improve blood flow and may help in detoxification and tissue regeneration.
• Alleviating Pain and Discomfort: Pain management post-surgery is vital for patient comfort and recovery. In certain instances, our therapeutic approaches may relieve pain by reducing pressure in swollen areas and increasing blood flow.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage Sydney

At Ashbrooke Cosmetic, we use two different modalities for lymphatic massage – manual lymphatic drainage and ultrasound lymphatic drainage.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage uses very light pressure to stimulate the lymphatic system. This technique increases the flow of lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues.

Benefits:

• Increases Circulation: Enhances lymph fluid movements to support recovery.
• Aids in Waste Removal: Helps eliminate toxins and cellular waste
• Reduces Swelling: Minimises fluid accumulation and swelling
• Facilitates Recovery: Promotes the natural healing processes of the body

Risks:

• Infection Risk: If not performed properly, there is a slight risk of causing or worsening infections, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems
• Lymphedema Exacerbation: In rare cases, if too much pressure is applied, it can exacerbate or cause lymphedema in susceptible individuals.

Ultrasonic Post Surgery Massage

In this post surgery lymphatic drainage massage, a special gel is applied to the skin and it utilises an ultrasound machine for lymphatic drainage.

This includes the use of ultrasound for fibrosis after liposuction, a specialised technique aimed at reducing fibrous tissue that can develop following liposuction procedures.

The ultrasound machine is used to break up scar tissue and sound waves are emitted that penetrate through skin and fat, breaking up fibrous tissues and collagen. This treatment typically involves around six sessions of approximately 45 minutes each.

Benefits:

• Breaks Down Scar Tissue: Reduces the appearance of post-surgical scars
• Clears Toxins and Waste: Assists the body in flushing out unwanted substances through enhanced lymphatic drainage.
• Reduces Swelling and Infection: Minimises post-surgical swelling and lowers the risk of infection.
• Decreases Chronic Pain and Muscle Spasms: Reduces tight muscles
• Speeds Up Recovery: Accelerates the healing process and time needed for recuperation.

Risks:

• Skin Irritation: The ultrasound gel or the device itself might cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some patients.
• Heat Damage: Improper use of ultrasound can lead to heat damage in the treated tissues, though this is rare.

With all benefits, it is important to note that individual results may vary and the effectiveness of the treatment is not guaranteed.

What are the Costs of Post-Surgical Therapy?

The cost of a therapy session starts at $150 per session with the number of sessions tailored to individual recovery needs. Costs may vary based on treatment specifics and patient needs. Book a consultation to find out more.
