How can Lymphatic Drainage help you?

Post-operative care starts the moment the surgeon finishes your procedure. This involves taking care of the inflammation; taking any medication prescribed by your doctor; reducing excess of fluid to prevent seroma and fibrosis; and wound care to prevent infection. Our plastic surgery recovery & aftercare treatment specialises in helping with water retention, inflammation, fibrosis, seroma reduction and pain reduction.

I went for a sports massage at Perea Clinic with Stelios due to upper back pain from working on a laptop. I found him to be very experienced and knowledgeable in muscle pain and over the last few weeks he has done a good job of ridding my body of pain.

This is a fabulous clinic! I went to see Stelios Retzepai because of a mid back spasm. I sit and use computers a lot with my job and I have had many problems from this. I won’t go anywhere else now. Stelios is a remarkable therapist and person. He has a wonderfully calm nature and has a very holistic and tailored approach to your treatment. He is very knowledgeable and fun and always makes you feel very relaxed. He has helped me a lot. They also have a lot of appointment times and are very flexible. I have told many people to come here.

I received treatment for an upper back muscle strain from Stelios Retzepai. He was very thorough in his assessment, immediately identified the issue and treated me very effectively using a variety of techniques. My symptoms significantly improved even after the first session. Stelios’s knowledge and clinical expertise are of exceptional standards. He has a great bedside manner and demonstrated a high level of professionalism. I highly recommend him!

F.A.Q. (frecuently asked questions)

Should I have a Lymphatic Drainage Massage after cosmetic surgery?

Yes, you should. Lymph massage makes the healing process faster, helps to avoid fibrosis, improves skin smoothness, prevents lumps, stimulates blood flow and drains excess fluids reducing swelling.

How many sessions of Lymphatic Drainage do I need?

It depends on the cosmetic surgery, how many areas you have treated and how well your body responds. On average, it can take between 5- 10 sessions. If you need help with conturing you will need additional sessions.

When can I come for my Lymphatic Drainage after surgery?

We recommend start the drainage 24/36 hour after the surgery. The earlier you can start, the easier to remove excess fluid and release pain. 

What is fibrosis?

After any type of surgery, the skin can build up adhesions and scars as part of the healing process. However, the body can abnormally increase the production Fibroblast (a main connective tissue cell present in the body) in the form of bands which connect two or more tissues causing hardness under the skin.

Your wound heals in stages. The healing process starts the instant your surgeon makes the incision. The acute stages of coagulation and inflammation can take minutes or days, whereas the proliferative and remodelling stages can take days, weeks or even more. Although various cell types are involved in fibrosis, it’s the fibroblast, the main character when we talk about wound remodelling and collagen deposition. Fibroblast plays an important role in creating and remodelling this extracellular tissue and in some cases, this excess fibrous tissue can be painful or disturb your body functions.

In other words, fibrosis is a set of imperfections that you can observe after liposuction and are described as painful hard lumps under your skin where liposuction has been done. It can also appear as large pores, tissue discoloration and uneven areas.

What are the symptoms of fibrosis?

Fibrosis post-op is characterised by:

  • Feeling of a radiating pain, in some cases it could be constant or get worse in some postures.
  • Thick and hard skin added to your scar tissue
  • Uneven skin
  • Local pain around the incision
  • Numbness or loss of light touch sensation
  • Pulling sensation on the area as you try to move or stretch
