Having a tummy tuck? Your recovery deserves a plan, too.
You’ve researched your surgeon, planned your procedure and prepared for your transformation. But have you thought about your recovery care?
After a tummy tuck, your body needs time to heal. Swelling, bruising, changes in skin colour and fluid retention can occur during recovery, and every person’s healing journey is different.
This is where appropriate post-operative care can play an important role.
At Lymphatic Cardiff, I provide personalised post-operative support following cosmetic surgery, with treatments tailored to your stage of recovery, your surgeon’s guidance and your individual needs.
Your care may include:
• Gentle manual lymphatic drainage to support lymphatic flow and help manage swelling
• K-taping where appropriate
• Red light therapy, when suitable for your stage of healing
• Radiofrequency only when clinically appropriate and cleared for use
• Guidance on aftercare and when to contact your surgical team
One thing I want every woman considering surgery to know: plan your recovery before your operation, not when you’re already home and wondering what to do next.
Your surgeon remains responsible for your surgical aftercare, and any concerning symptoms need medical assessment. Specialist post-operative treatments are there to complement—not replace—your surgeon’s advice.
If you’re planning a tummy tuck, liposuction, BBL or another cosmetic procedure, you’re welcome to get in touch before your surgery to discuss your recovery plan.
