Post-Operative Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) in Manchester
Certified post-op recovery massage in Prestwich, Manchester. Helping your body heal after BBL, tummy tuck, liposuction and more.
Why your body needs extra support after surgery
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a light massage technique that helps your body move fluid after a cosmetic procedure. When you have surgery, your lymphatic system gets disrupted. Fluid builds up in the tissue around the treated areas, causing swelling, bruising and that tight, uncomfortable feeling in the days and weeks after.
MLD uses very gentle, rhythmic strokes to guide that fluid back into circulation. It helps your body clear the build-up naturally, rather than leaving it to resolve on its own over weeks or months.
At Endermika in Prestwich, we work with clients recovering from BBL, tummy tucks, liposuction, breast surgery and other cosmetic procedures. Most people come to us within the first few days after their operation.

Meet Anna, your MLD therapist in Prestwich
"I know that the first few days after surgery can feel uncomfortable and overwhelming. My goal is to give you a calm, safe space where your body can get the support it needs."
Hi, I'm Anna. I'm the founder of Endermika Beauty Studio in Prestwich, and I've been working with clients on body treatments for several years. You might know me from my LPG Endermologie work.
MLD is a natural next step for me. I completed my Post-Operative MLD training at Roseline Academy in Liverpool in June 2026. Every session starts with a quick chat about how you're feeling and what your surgeon has advised. Then we go at your pace.

How MLD helps after surgery
Reduces swelling
MLD helps move the fluid that builds up after surgery. Most clients notice a real difference after their first couple of sessions.
Faster recovery
Better lymph flow means your body clears waste more quickly. That usually means a shorter, more comfortable recovery overall.
Lower risk of complications
Regular MLD after liposuction can help prevent fluid pockets (seromas) and the hardening of scar tissue known as fibrosis.
Better results from your procedure
When swelling clears faster, the results of your surgery become visible sooner. Many surgeons recommend MLD for exactly this reason.
Less discomfort
Post-op tightness and tenderness can ease with MLD. The technique is very light and clients often find sessions deeply relaxing.
Bruising clears faster
MLD helps the body break down bruising more quickly than it would on its own, which many clients find reassuring in the early days.
What to expect when you come in
Sessions last 1 hour 15 minutes. Here is what usually happens.

Questions we hear most often
When should I start MLD after surgery?
+
Most surgeons recommend starting within 24 to 72 hours of your procedure, once they have cleared you for gentle touch. The earlier you start, the easier it is to manage swelling before it settles in. If you are not sure about timing, just message us and we can help you figure it out.
How many sessions will I need?
+
It depends on your surgery and how your body responds. As a rough guide: smaller procedures usually need 3 to 5 sessions. BBL, tummy tuck or liposuction typically calls for 6 to 10. More extensive surgery or slower healing can mean more. Anna will give you an honest recommendation after your first session, once she has seen how things are going.
Does it hurt?
+
No. MLD is one of the gentlest techniques there is. It uses very light pressure on the skin surface, nothing like a sports or deep tissue massage. Most people find it relaxing and a fair few fall asleep during the session.
Which surgeries is it suitable for?
+
MLD is commonly used after BBL, liposuction, tummy tuck, breast surgery, arm and thigh lifts and most other body contouring procedures. If you had a different procedure and are not sure whether it applies to you, just get in touch for a quick chat.
How long is each session?
+
Each session is 1 hour 15 minutes. That gives enough time to treat all the areas properly without rushing.
I'm still wearing a compression garment. Can I still come?
+
Yes. Anna works with clients in compression garments regularly. She will adapt the session to work around it, or advise you on the safest approach for where you are in your recovery. Just mention it when you book.
Is there parking at the studio?
+
Yes, there is free street parking right outside on Bury New Road. We are at Room 3, 11 Bury New Road, Prestwich, Manchester M25 9JZ. A straightforward drive from Bury, Whitefield, Salford, Middleton and Manchester city centre.
