Cosmetic Surgery Recovery in Cheltenham
Specialist post-operative MLD & recovery support following liposuction, tummy tuck, breast surgery, body contouring and other cosmetic procedures.
How treatment works
Every session at Lymphara Clinic is centred around specialist post-operative Manual Lymphatic Drainage, adapted to your surgery and stage of healing.
Swelling is a normal part of recovery, but it can feel uncomfortable, heavy and restrictive, especially when fluid lingers or compression does not feel right.
Treatment may also include other clinical modalities where appropriate, including Deep Oscillation, compression support, lymphatic K-taping, scar work and fibrosis support.
Your care is adapted as your recovery changes, taking into account your symptoms, compression and any guidance from your surgeon.

Treatment packages
Post-op recovery usually changes week by week. Swelling may increase, garments may loosen or dig in, and tissue can feel tight, firm or congested as healing progresses.
A treatment package gives you structured support through this key recovery window, rather than leaving you to book one-off sessions reactively.
Course of 4 treatments - £299
Includes initial consultation with first MLD session + 3 follow-up treatments, to be used within 3 weeks.
Best for smaller procedures, later-stage recovery, or clients who want a focused short course of post-op support.
Course of 6 treatments - £418
Includes initial consultation with first MLD session + 5 follow-up treatments, to be used within 5 weeks.
Best for tummy tuck, liposuction, body lift, multiple procedures or clients who want more structured support through early recovery.

A little extra support if needed
Most recoveries progress as expected, but it is normal to have questions along the way, especially around swelling, firmness, wound healing or fluid build-up.
1. Ongoing recovery support
During each session I check how your swelling, tissues, compression and overall recovery are progressing.
Your treatment is adapted as your body changes, so support stays relevant throughout recovery.
2. Additional clinical support
MLD does not replace your surgeon, GP or medical team. If something falls outside my scope and needs a clinical opinion, I can signpost you to an experienced prescribing district nurse who specialises in wound care and post-operative healing. Any assessment or treatment would be arranged directly with her.
3. Your surgeon kept informed
If needed, your surgeon can also be updated so your recovery care remains aligned with your surgical plan.
Most of the time this is not necessary, but it means the right support is available if something unexpected arises.
