Post-Operative MLD

The Ultimate Guide to Post-Operative MLD: Why It’s Essential for Recovery

If you’ve recently undergone cosmetic surgery or are planning a procedure, one of the most important steps in your recovery is Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD). At ReJENerate Body Clinic, we specialise in post-operative MLD to help you heal faster, reduce discomfort, and achieve the best possible results from your surgery.

What is Post-Operative MLD?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a specialised, gentle massage technique that stimulates your lymphatic system, helping your body eliminate excess fluid, toxins, and waste. After surgery, your lymphatic system can become sluggish, leading to swelling, bruising, and discomfort. MLD encourages drainage and supports your body’s natural healing process.

Why is MLD So Important After Surgery?

Cosmetic procedures such as liposuction, tummy tucks, BBL, breast augmentation, and facelifts can create a significant amount of swelling and fluid build-up under the skin. Without proper drainage, this can slow recovery and even affect your final results.

Benefits of Post-Op MLD:
✔ Reduces swelling & inflammation – Speeds up your body’s natural detox process
✔ Minimises bruising – Helps break down trapped blood under the skin
✔ Prevents fibrosis – Reduces the risk of hard lumps or scar tissue forming
✔ Promotes comfort – Eases tightness and tenderness after surgery
✔ Enhances results – Supports smoother, more even healing for a better contour

When Should You Start MLD?

Most surgeons recommend starting MLD within 3–5 days post-surgery, once your doctor confirms it’s safe. Early treatment can make a huge difference in your recovery timeline. At ReJENerate Body Clinic, we’ll work with your surgical aftercare plan to ensure your sessions are perfectly timed for maximum benefit.

How Many Sessions Will You Need?

This depends on the type of surgery and your individual healing process, but typically clients see the best results with 6–10 sessions. We offer discounted packages to support your full recovery journey.
