Post-Op Massage
Overview
About Post-Op Massage
Silhouettes by Paris is proud to be the first clinic in the North East to offer specialist post-operative massage. With training from international experts, Paris provides comprehensive post-op care to reduce swelling, minimise fluid build-up, treat fibrosis, and support your body's natural healing process after surgery. She is trained to spot signs of infections and complications early, can refer you to private nurses to remove stitches and drains, perform scar treatment, advise on compression garments, and answer all your aftercare questions — putting you at ease every step of the way. Recommended by surgeons and surgery clinics worldwide. Massage packages are available at discounted rates. We recommend 2 massages per week for 6 weeks post-surgery. Massages can begin immediately after surgery, but we advise waiting until you finish your antibiotics (typically 1 week post-op) to maximise healing benefits.
Every treatment at Silhouettes by Paris is fully personalised to your body, goals, and timeline. Paris will assess your individual needs during your free consultation and create a bespoke treatment plan for you.

What's Included
Our Post-Op Massage
Includes:
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to remove excess fluid, reduce swelling, and support the body's natural healing process. MLD is widely recommended by surgeons following procedures such as liposuction, tummy tucks, and BBL to reduce post-operative oedema, prevent fibrosis, and speed up recovery. Paris uses specialist MLD techniques adapted specifically for post-surgical clients.
- Reduces post-surgical oedema and swelling
- Prevents and treats fibrosis
- Supports the body's natural healing process
- Improves circulation and lymphatic flow
- Reduces discomfort and promotes faster recovery

Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage (Post-Op)
Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage is a more intensive form of lymphatic massage specifically adapted for post-operative recovery. It uses deeper, more targeted techniques to address the specific needs of post-surgical tissue — breaking down fibrosis, treating seromas, and accelerating the elimination of surgical waste products. Paris is one of the only therapists in the North East trained to deliver specialist post-op BLD.
