Before Planning Your Recovery, You Need to Read This Why You Need the Recovery Expert Programme – Not Just Lymphatic Drainage
When undergoing plastic or reconstructive surgery, swelling is a natural part of the healing process. Many surgeons recommend manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) to help manage this swelling, but timing and the right approach are crucial.
Swelling peaks between the 2nd and 5th day post-surgery, making it essential to control inflammation early, wear the correct compression garments, and follow a structured recovery plan to prevent unnecessary discomfort. Unfortunately, some surgeons recommend MLD too late, leaving you to deal with pain and slower recovery on your own.
Why the Recovery Expert Programme Stands Out
The Recovery Expert Programme is far more than just MLD—it’s a science-backed, results-driven protocol designed to optimise healing, reduce complications, and enhance surgical results.
MLD is a fundamental part of our Recovery Expert Protocol, but it is just one technique within a broader, more advanced recovery plan. While surgeons may recommend MLD, they often mean a protocol that includes it—but not all MLD approaches are the same. The Recovery Expert Programme combines MLD with other evidence-based therapies to maximise your healing and comfort.
The Recovery Expert Programme – Your Key to a Faster, Smoother Recovery
A structured, multi-phase recovery plan, the Recovery Expert Programme supports you from pre-surgery to post-surgery. It consists of 8 to 10 sessions strategically scheduled over 4 to 6 weeks, with 2 to 3 treatments per week.

1.Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) – Stimulates lymph flow, reduces swelling, and accelerates healing.
- 2. Pre-surgical consultation and preparation – Assessing your body’s needs and planning the best recovery approach.
- 3. Non-Invasive Blood Laser therapy for pain and inflammation – Advanced low-level laser therapy to accelerate healing and reduce discomfort.
- 4. Kinesiology taping for swelling control – Helps manage post-operative swelling and improves circulation.
- 5. Ozone therapy – Reduces inflammation and pain while enhancing the body’s healing response.
- 6. Compression garment fitting and adjustments – Ensuring the correct size and fit to prevent discomfort and optimise results.

Stages of the Recovery Expert Programme
Stage 1: Pre-Operative
- Undergo pre-surgery treatments to prepare your body, including skin preparation, MLD, and garment measurements.
- Receive a complimentary 15-minute consultation with Flavia to answer your questions before surgery.
Stage 2: Intra-Operative
- Receive immediate post-surgical care in the theatre (subject to your surgeon’s approval) or visit our clinic within 24 hours of hospital discharge.
- Benefit from early-stage MLD and other therapies designed to prevent complications right from the start.
Stage 3: Post-Operative
- Engage in a range of therapies that control pain, reduce inflammation and swelling, prevent fibrosis and seroma, and manage scar tissue.
- Continue MLD alongside other advanced treatments, like LED Lights and taping to ensure a faster, more effective recovery.
Even if you missed Stages 1 and 2, we can still provide Stage 3 support to ensure the best possible recovery outcome.
What If I Missed the First Two Stages?
No problem! Even if you haven’t completed Stages 1 and 2, you can still benefit from Stage 3, where we focus on reducing pain, swelling, and scarring, while preventing long-term complications such as fibrosis.

Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage (Alternative Option)
If you are not yet convinced by the latest technology in plastic and reconstructive Recovery Expert care, manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is still a beneficial option.
What is Lymphatic Drainage?
MLD is a specialised massage technique designed to stimulate lymphatic flow, reduce swelling, and speed up healing. It is commonly recommended after surgeries such as liposuction, tummy tucks, and breast procedures.
When Should You Book MLD?
Immediately after surgery – No need to wait for a doctor’s referral.
Before surgery – If you have concerns about blood circulation, are a smoker, or want to enhance your recovery, we recommend three sessions before your procedure.
Important Note: While MLD is an essential component of post-surgical recovery, on its own, it does not address fibrosis, adhesions, or deeper post-surgical complications.
For the most complete, science-backed recovery, the Recovery Expert Programme is the best option.
