Post Cosmetic Surgery Recovery Support

Recovering from surgery is about more than aesthetics. Supporting healing properly can make a huge difference to comfort, swelling, mobility, and long-term scar health.

At Total Gut Health & Wellness Centre, I now offer a combined post-surgical recovery approach using:

🌿 Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
🌿 Restore Scar Therapy

In the early stages after surgery, MLD may help reduce swelling and fluid retention, encourage healthy lymphatic flow, improve comfort, and support recovery.

MLD is commonly recommended from around 1 week post-surgery (with surgeon approval), often:

• 2x weekly between weeks 1–4
• Then weekly until around week 8- Once scars are fully healed, scar therapy may then be introduced where appropriate to help:

• Reduce tightness and restriction
• Improve tissue mobility
• Support healing and circulation
• Reduce sensitivity and discomfort
• Support longer-term scar recovery

Suitable following procedures such as:
✨ Tummy tuck
✨ Liposuction
✨ Breast augmentation or reduction
✨ “Mummy makeover” procedures
✨ Caesarean scars

Based in Shepton Mallet, supporting clients across Somerset, Bath & Bristol.
