Pre and Post Operative Lymphatic Drainage Treatment

Pre & Post-Operative Manual Lymphatic Drainage in Glasgow

If you’re preparing for surgery or recovering afterwards, your body deserves targeted, skilled care that supports healing, reduces fluid build-up and helps restore comfort and movement. At Glasgow Holistic Massage, I offer specialist manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) tailored to the pre- and post-operative phase — helping you feel lighter, more comfortable and supported.

What This Treatment Can Help With

  • Reduce swelling, bruising and fluid retention after surgery. https://massagetherapy.london/2025/04/17/manual-lymphatic-drainage-post-surgery/
  • Prevent long-term issues such as fibrosis or seromas by encouraging lymphatic flow.
  • Support quicker mobility, less discomfort and improved comfort during recovery.
  • Assist aesthetic surgery outcomes (liposuction, tummy-tuck, breast surgery) and general surgical recovery.

What to Expect

  • A brief consultation about your surgery, recovery stage, any contraindications, and your goals.
  • Gentle, rhythmical strokes designed to stimulate lymph flow and guide fluid away from treated or swollen areas.
  • Treatment adapts to your healing timeline: early sessions might begin when your surgeon gives clearance.
  • You’ll leave the room feeling lighter, with less tension and greater ease of movement.

Is this Suitable for You?

Yes if you:

  • Are scheduled for surgery and want to optimise your recovery timeframe.
  • Have had surgery (cosmetic, orthopaedic or other) and are experiencing swelling, tightness or prolonged discomfort.
  • Want to support long-term results and avoid tissue build-up or adhesions.

Before booking, please confirm with your surgeon or GP that manual lymphatic drainage is appropriate for your stage of recovery.
