In general, postoperative massages such as manual lymphatic drainage, anti-fibrosis massage and circulatory massage are essential to improve circulation, reduce swelling, prevent excessive scar tissue formation and promote a faster and more aesthetic recovery in these surgeries.
Postoperative manual lymphatic drainage consists of performing gentle and rhythmic movements to stimulate the lymphatic system, facilitating the elimination of accumulated fluids and toxins, and reducing swelling.
It is especially indicated after surgeries such as tummy tuck, liposuction, thigh lift, arm lift…. generally starting 2 to 7 days after the surgery.
Anti-fibrosis massage focuses on preventing and treating the formation of scar tissue or fibrosis, which can form after surgery and cause lumps or irregularities in the skin. This massage helps to break up that fibrous tissue to prevent hardening and improve the texture and elasticity of the skin in the operated area.
It is performed with firmer and deeper movements to break up the fibrous tissue and improve circulation, starting about 2 weeks post-surgery.

Anti-cellulite massage is applied to improve blood and lymphatic circulation, promote the elimination of retained fluids and toxins, and help reduce cellulite and swelling that may appear after surgery.
It acts on the deep layers of the skin and fat deposits, activating cell metabolism and promoting tissue oxygenation to facilitate recovery and improve the appearance of the skin in complementary treatments to abdominoplasty or liposuction.
A post-surgical relaxing massage is a soft and gentle technique applied after surgery to promote muscle relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and relieve accumulated tension during and after the surgical procedure.

An anti-wrinkle facial massage is a manual technique applied on the face with the objective of reducing the appearance of wrinkles, expression lines and signs of aging.
