At Smart Skiin Aesthetics, our treatment list for Pre & Post Cosmetic Care includes:
Majority of GP's or Surgeons will recommend you seek care for before and after your cosmetic surgery to ensure your healing is supported with a gentle & experienced expert.
Pre Cometic Care is often over-looked, even by patients who have done lots of research prior to their surgery.
It involves an in depth Consultation, heaps of aftercare advice and a Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage to start off the process.
After surgery, it is vital you receive the care you need. Whether it's a MLD Massage or Red Light Therapy, we work with you to ensure your body heals and recovers effectively and safely.
You may also still have drains, clips/staples & steristrips in your abdomen and groin which we can help carefully remove.
After any surgical procedure, patients tend to experience severe swelling and/or bruising, which can last up to a couple months post treatment. However, this can disrupt the body's natural lymphatic drainage, leading to reduced healing in the form of fibrosis and the possibility of developing seromas.
Our post surgery massages help to accelerate your recovery and decrease the chance of irregularities, lumps, bumps, and scar tissue formation, which can all affect the final outcome. Our treatments also help the skin to tighten and conform to your new body shape. Treatments such as MLD are now seen as mandatory after a surgery and is recommended by the best UK surgeons.
A seroma is a buildup of clear fluid in a body and is a common complication of surgery. The drainage of a seroma involves inserting a needle into the seroma to remove the fluid.
Many seromas do not require treatment, as the body will often reabsorb the fluid. However, treatment may be necessary if the seroma causes discomfort, pain, pressure, or tightness.
Drains, Clips/Staples and Steristrips are all used within surgery to ensure your body heals correctly and safely.
However, they do require a certain level of care and must be removed by a specialist if and when required. It is important that wounds and scars are looked after correctly and at Smart Skin Aeshetics, we ensure just that!
Red Light Therapy is a treatment that uses low levels of red light to stimulate cells & improve function.

Every patient's needs are different but it is recommended that you have 2-4 MLD Massages prior to surgery; ideally the 1-2 weeks and then 1-2 days before surgery.
The increase in lymphatic flow facilitates the healing process by priming the nodes and clearing out the body’s fluids and cellular debris, cleansing future incision sites making ready to operate and keeping free from infection. A firmer, drained skin is also preferable to a surgeon when making incisions, it helps keep them even and scars heal neater after.
Again, every patient;s needs are different but at least 4-6 MLD Massages are recommended post surgery, which can start 24 hours after surgery (with surgeons approval). If you opt for surgery abroad, then we can start just as soon as your fit to fly and return home again.
You may also need removal of drains, clips/staples & steristrips, you may have complications such as seromas and you may want to invest in Red Light Therapy.
