Welcome to Ashbrooke Cosmetic Clinic
After cosmetic or medical surgery, post-surgical therapy can assist in the recovery process by helping to reduce swelling and supporting tissue repair.
Â
If you’re searching for post-surgical lymphatic massage, Ashbrooke Cosmetics offers services tailored to manage swelling and support the body’s healing process, designed to complement post-surgical care under medical guidance.
Â
Post-surgical therapy offers supportive care aimed at assisting recovery following surgery. Here are some ways it may be beneficial:
Â
At Ashbrooke Cosmetic, we use two different modalities for lymphatic massage – manual lymphatic drainage and ultrasound 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.
Â
Benefits:

Enhances lymph fluid movements to support recovery.

Helps eliminate toxins and cellular waste

Supports the management of fluid build-up and swelling during recovery

Aims to aid the body’s standard processes for tissue repair and healing
The above benefits may differ from patient to patient.
This treatment is typically considered to be safe however, there are some cases when this may not be recommended:

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.
The above risks may differ from patient to patient.
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:

Reduces the appearance of post-surgical scars

Assists the body in flushing out unwanted substances through enhanced lymphatic drainage.

Reduces post-surgical swelling and lowers the risk of infection.

Reduces tight muscles

Accelerates the healing process and time needed for recuperation.
With all benefits, it is important to note that individual results may vary and the effectiveness of the treatment is not guaranteed.
This treatment is typically considered to be safe however, there are some cases when this may not be recommended:

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.
The above risks may differ from patient to patient.
If you’ve recently undergone cosmetic or surgical procedures and wish to support healing, reduce swelling, and manage discomfort, this therapy could be a beneficial addition to your recovery plan. It is particularly helpful for individuals seeking a more comfortable and effective recovery.
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.

Post-surgical therapy can generally begin a few days after surgery but the exact timing depends on your specific surgical procedure. Starting therapy early can help in reducing swelling and accelerating recovery but it is vital to wait until your doctor confirms that your surgical wounds have healed sufficiently to withstand treatment.
To prepare for a session you should wear loose, comfortable clothing and ensure you are well-hydrated. It is also advisable to have a light meal a few hours before your session to maintain your energy levels without feeling too full. Make sure to also discuss any concerns or sensitivities you might have before the session.
Unlike massages such as deep tissue massage, remedial massage and sports massage, lymphatic drainage massage has a more particular focus which is to encourage lymph flow. Other massages primarily aim to improve mobility and provide pain relief for tired muscles and soft tissue injuries.
