Post-Operative MLD: Clinical Recovery Delivered to Your Home

Specialist Post-Operative MLD: Clinical Recovery & Nursing Expertise Delivered to Your Home

Recovery after cosmetic surgery is a delicate process that requires more than just rest—it requires expert care. I am a Professional Massage Therapist and Experienced Registered Nurse, specialising in Mobile Post-Operative Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) across Maidstone and Kent.

Following procedures such as Liposuction, 360 Makeovers, Tummy Tucks, and Breast Augmentation, the body often struggles with significant swelling, bruising, and discomfort. I bring clinical expertise directly to your bedside, providing the essential MLD therapy needed to accelerate healing, manage pain, and ensure your surgical results are beautifully preserved—all without you having to endure the pain of travelling to a clinic.

Why Post-Op MLD is Essential for Your Recovery

After body-shaping surgery, the lymphatic system can become overwhelmed, leading to fluid build-up (oedema) and the risk of fibrosis (hardened scar tissue). My specialist MLD treatments help to:

• Reduce Swelling & Bruising: Gently moving excess fluid away from surgical sites to speed up visible healing.
• Manage Post-Surgical Pain: By reducing internal pressure and inflammation, MLD provides significant relief during the most uncomfortable stages of recovery.
• Prevent Fibrosis: Helping to ensure smooth, even contours by preventing the formation of hard lumps under the skin.
• Optimise Aesthetic Results: MLD is the "partner" to your surgery, ensuring your new contours settle correctly and beautifully.

The Clinical Advantage: A Registered Nurse at Your Door

Choosing a therapist with a nursing background means your recovery is in safe hands. I understand the complexities of wound healing, the importance of infection control, and the physical toll of major cosmetic procedures. My mobile service is designed specifically for the 'acute' recovery phase, where movement is difficult and pain levels are high. I provide a discreet, professional, and clinical service in the safety and comfort of your own home.

The Importance of Professional Compression

To maintain the results of your MLD sessions, correctly fitted compression garments are vital. I work in close partnership with The Fitting Service in Maidstone (www.thefittingservice.com). Together, we provide a comprehensive recovery loop: expert MLD to remove fluid, and medical-grade compression to prevent it from returning. If you are unsure about the fit of your current garment, I can offer professional guidance during our session.

Preparing for Your Home Recovery Visit

• The Setting: I will adapt the treatment to your current mobility. We can use my professional table, or I can treat you on your bed or recliner if movement is currently limited.
• Timing: It is often recommended to begin MLD within days of your procedure (with your surgeon's approval).
• Area Covered: My mobile surgical recovery service covers Maidstone, the surrounding areas and the wider Kent.
