Mayfair Body Treatments

Liposuction and Cosmetic surgical procedures usually create a pooling of excess lymphatic fluids, which results in swelling, tightness and discomfort in the patient. Specialized post-op massage techniques can help accelerate recovery.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage (LDM) is a specialised massage technique recommended by the cosmetic surgeon after liposuction or cosmetic surgery to accelerate the recuperation period.

LDM is the most efficient way to reduce swelling and bruising and is based on scientific knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the Lymphatic System.

Some patients will experience lumpiness in the areas treated with liposuction, Smart-lipo, or Cool Sculpting, especially in the abdominal area and flanks, even if combined with other bodies contouring procedures (such as fat injections for what is popularly known as the Brazilian Butt Lift). This is normal right after your procedure. The lumpiness is caused by inflammation and trauma from the surgical instrument (cannula) used under the skin to extract the fatty tissue. The tunnels and channels created by the surgical instrument will fill with fluid and become swollen with both fluid and left-over fat.

This fluid and left-over fat tend to begin to harden between one week and three weeks after surgery. There is a risk that the swelling and inflammation could turn into fibrosis, a permanent hardening of the area.

Most doctors advise their patients to begin their Lymphatic massage treatment after the 4th or 5th day after surgery to obtain the best and fastest results. The longer you wait, the more difficult it can be to encourage the tissue toward greater pliability, so you can benefit from the work in those critical first few weeks after surgery.

How many Treatments? 

6 treatments post-operative are often enough if the only area of liposuction was the legs, knees or flanks or breast augmentation. 

Post-Liposuction / Abdomen :

People getting liposuction to the abdomen and/or abdominoplasty require up to 12 sessions. Occasionally a client will need more than 12 if they had multiple procedures at the same time (mommy makeover, breast augmentation, lipo and tummy tuck, lipo and buttock enhancement)

How often are the sessions : 

usually once  or twice per week 

Cost:  £80 per session 

PRE TREATMENT GUIDE

  Step 1:  To ensure your body responds well to ultrasound fat cavitation, drink 2L of water before and following your treatment.  

Step 2:  Stagger 2L intake of water over 24 hours, for three days post-treatment.  

The ultrasound fat cavitation treatment works by eliminating fat and toxins via the lymphatic and urinary systems. The body requires three days to properly eliminate the fat and toxins after a treatment.   

Treatment intervals :

Intensive: Minimum 3 days between the seasons

Ideal / Recommended: 1 week or 2 weeks apart

  Number of Treatments for the best results: 6 - 10 Treatments  

 Pre & Post Treatment tips :  

•  Maintain a low calorie, low carbohydrate, low fat, and low sugar diet for 24 hours pre-treatment
• Avoid coffee a few hours before and after treatment   
• Drink 1,5 L of water before treatment  

After your Treatment :  

• Wear a compression/body shaping garment  (a few hours p/day if possible) Go for a  20 minutes "fast walk" or elevated heart rate cardio exercise  continue with the 20 min workout for the following 3 days  If cardio is not your style, this where sauna sessions may assist, as it has a similar effect on the body)  
• Continue drinking 2 litres of water for the following 3 days use a body brush in the shower to promote movement around the area. 
• Use a body moisturiser daily by applying a massage   
•  Maintain a low calorie, low carbohydrate, low fat, and low sugar diet for three days post-treatment  

 By following the ultrasound fat cavitation aftercare plan, the results will be visible.   It is a non-invasive treatment which requires no downtime and offers results which are comparable to liposuction.
