Post-Operative Massage-
This session is for those that are dealing with post-operative swelling, fibrosis, or scar tissue. It covers common plastic, cosmetic, and orthopedic procedures such as:
Breast augmentation, BBL, Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, Join Replacement, C-Section, etc. It will be split into 2 phases depending on what phase of healing you are in.
Phase I: This typically starts within a few days after surgery, or once you've been cleared by your doctor. Phase I consists of a hands-on manual lymphatic drainage due to the delicate state of the body. MLD helps with stagnant lymphatic fluid, swelling, and helps to minimize keloid scar tissue.
Phase II: Starts around week 4 post-op but the time may vary depending on the procedure. This consists of incorporating other techniques to help break up any adhesion/scarring or fibrosis that may have formed in the tissue. Techniques may include red light therapy, taping, cross-friction techniques, hot stones, or other myofascial techniques to reduce stiffness.
During your session you will receive the following:
-
Phase I or Phase II hands-on massage
-
Post-operative Recovery Manual
-
Checking the surgical site for fibrosis/infection
-
Help with any garment fitting questions you may have
-
