Enhance Your Surgical Results with Expert Post-Operative Care
Our specialized post-op lymphatic and scar therapies can significantly boost aesthetic outcomes. By rapidly moving fluid away from surgical sites and softening tissue, these techniques help your patients heal faster and look their best. Evidence shows that gentle manual lymphatic massage after cosmetic surgery “improves blood circulation, reducing pain, and facilitating healing”, while expert scar care therapy can markedly improve scar elasticity and appearance. Sculpt + Heal’s concierge recovery program is designed to preserve and enhance your surgical work.
Top Procedures That Benefit From Our Services:
Liposuction & Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): These procedures often cause significant swelling and fibrosis. Post-op lymphatic massage accelerates drainage of excess fluid and breaks up hardened tissue, smoothing out lumps that might otherwise take months to resolve.
Breast Surgery (Augmentation, Lift, Reduction): All breast procedures can disrupt lymph flow. Gentle drainage after augmentation or lifts helps minimize edema and tightness. Many surgeons incorporate manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) in breast surgery protocols to enhance comfort and shape.
Facial Procedures (Facelift, Rhinoplasty, Blepharoplasty): Facial surgery often leads to puffiness and bruising. Our targeted massage techniques help disperse facial swelling and speed up recovery. In fact, clinicians note that MLD can “minimize swelling and pain” after facelifts and eyelid surgeries.
Body Contouring & Post-Weight-Loss Lifts (Mommy Makeover, Arm/Thigh Lift, Lower Body Lift): Large resections pose a high risk of lymph stasis. We support lymphatic return in these cases, reducing the risk of chronic edema. Studies report MLD is commonly used after thigh and arm lifts in weight-loss patients to prevent lymphedema and improve comfort.
Proven Outcomes:
Less Swelling & Bruising: Patients experience faster reduction of edema and bruising. Studies show that MLD combined with compression significantly “reduces edema” in cosmetic liposuction and abdominoplasty patients. Cleansing congested tissue also helps remove metabolic waste, reducing postoperative inflammation
Enhanced Scar Healing: Our advanced scar therapy (massage, silicone, laser as needed) has been shown to improve scar elasticity, thickness, regularity and color. Patients report less itching and flatter, softer scars.
Pain Relief & Faster Recovery: Gentle lymph drainage often translates to less pain and a speedier recovery. Research indicates that adding MLD to multimodal care can lead to “significant decreases in pain” and “improvements in wound healing”.
Higher Patient Satisfaction: By proactively managing swelling and scars, patients typically enjoy smoother recoveries and better final results. Attention to post-op care has been shown to be “paramount to improve postoperative outcomes and enhance patients’ satisfaction.”
Evidence-Based Practice: Every technique we use is backed by research and clinical experience. We leverage proven interventions to protect your surgical results and minimize complications.
