Just had surgery? Let’s talk about preventing fibrosis and healing smoothly.☁️
Fibrosis is one of the most common concerns after surgery. It happens when the body forms hardened scar tissue under the skin during the healing process. Without the right aftercare, this can lead to lumps, tightness, uneven healing, and prolonged swelling.
The good news? With the right support, it can often be prevented or significantly reduced.🫶🏻
Here are some key steps to help your body heal properly:
💆♀️ Start post-op lymphatic drainage early
Specialist post-operative lymphatic drainage helps reduce fluid build-up, improve circulation, and guide the healing process to minimise fibrosis.
🩹 Wear your compression garments correctly
Compression supports the tissues while they heal and helps control swelling and fluid retention.
💧 Hydrate consistently
Water helps your lymphatic system flush out waste, toxins, and excess fluid after surgery.
🚶♀️ Gentle movement is important
Light movement encourages lymph flow and prevents fluid stagnation.
😴 Prioritise rest and proper nutrition
Your body heals best when it has adequate rest and nutrient-rich foods to repair tissue.
🌿 Support your body with anti-inflammatory care
Reducing inflammation helps prevent excessive scar tissue formation.
