MLD is a gentle, rhythmic massage that stimulates the lymphatic system, helping the body remove excess fluid, reduce swelling, and support immune function.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)? MLD can usually begin within a few days after surgery, often around 3–5 days post-op, once cleared by your surgeon and provided there are no complications.
Drainage Massages? MLD is recommended three times per week initially. During the second week, it should be performed at least twice per week, with the frequency reduced gradually thereafter.
Block booking allows you to pre-schedule your sessions in advance, helping you stay consistent with your recovery plan. Post-op MLD typically requires a minimum of 10 sessions for best results, and to help you maximise your outcome, you can take advantage of the block booking offer of 12 sessions for the price of 10.

Laura’s Touchoffers 30, 60, and 90-minute sessions. For post op clients, a 60-minute session is recommended as MLD benefits the whole body, regardless of where the surgery took place. This duration allows Laura’s Touch to treat the body therapeutically, including the back and legs, while fully stimulating the lymphatic system to support optimal recovery.
Laura’s Touch offers complimentary ultrasonic cavitation, radiofrequency, and cold laser therapy to enhance your post op recovery.
Ultrasonic cavitation helps break down localised fat and smooth uneven areas, while radiofrequency and cold laser therapy improve skin tightening, reduce swelling, and help eliminate lumps or bumps. Together, they support a smoother, more comfortable recovery and optimise results.
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is important after surgery as it helps reduce swelling and fluid build-up caused by disrupted lymphatic flow. It supports healing, reduces discomfort and bruising, and promotes smoother, more efficient recovery.
