Copied this but how fitting!!

Can we please stop telling women they don’t need post-op massages after lipo?

I see it way too often in this group: “My doctor said I don’t need massages” or “I didn’t do any and I was fine.” That doesn’t mean it’s the right advice for everyone.

Especially with liposuction, the healing process matters. The beginning stages are when you’re dealing with swelling, fluid buildup, and scar tissue formation. This is when proper post-op care is most important.

And then months later, I see women asking how to fix hard areas, fibrosis, or uneven results. By then, it can be much harder to correct.

You spent thousands on your surgery. Don’t let a comment section convince you to skip your recovery. Do your research, follow a proper post-op plan, and invest in taking care of your results.

⚠️ Tummy Tuck Recovery: Why Numbness Matters ⚠️
One thing that isn't talked about enough after a tummy tuck is numbness in the lower abdomen.

Around 12 weeks post-op, I had really bad period pains and put a hot water bottle on my stomach.
The problem? 😫

I couldn't feel how hot it was because the nerves in my lower tummy hadn't fully recovered. By the time I realised, I'd burned myself badly enough to cause a blister (pictured).

I immediately: ✔️ Removed the heat source. ✔️ Cooled the area with a cold flannel (avoid applying ice directly to a burn). ✔️ Visited the pharmacy for appropriate burn cream and followed the instructions carefully.
Thankfully, it healed completely. The only reminder now is that when I tan, that small area goes a little darker than the surrounding skin.

💛 A gentle reminder to anyone recovering from a tummy tuck:
Don't place hot water bottles or heat pads directly on your abdomen.
Be extra careful with hot baths, heated blankets, or sitting close to heaters.
Numbness can last months, and for some people, small areas may never regain full sensation.
Just because you can't feel the heat doesn't mean your skin isn't being damaged.
Please be careful. Your new tummy is still healing, even when you feel well. 💛

Surgery girls!!!!! Are you ready for a laugh 😃

Ordered myself BDY Fajas | Be. Defiantly. You. waist trainer

My waist is 27inch so the website recommends a Small

When I tell you it has just taken me 15 whole minutes to get in to this 😅

Sweating, redhot and breathless

But look at that waist 😍

Every time I post a treatment on either of my pages, i receive this 🙄

I challenge it each time, sometimes they apologise after they review it and sometimes they continue to 'no longer recommend me'

I never post pictures with syringes in my hand on my by Stace page and I never post nudes on this 😑 but after all, it is a page for massage and your not gonna see results if someone is fully clothed are you 😆

The mind boggles

✨ Lymphatic Drainage Massage Isn't Just for Surgery Clients ✨
Most people think lymphatic drainage massage is only for post-op recovery, but the truth is EVERYONE can benefit from a healthy lymphatic system.
Your lymphatic system is responsible for removing waste, toxins, excess fluid and supporting your immune system. Unlike your heart, it doesn't have its own pump, so sometimes it needs a little help.
Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Massage:
💫 Reduces water retention and bloating 💫 Helps flush toxins from the body 💫 Supports a healthy immune system 💫 Can improve circulation 💫 Helps reduce swelling and inflammation 💫 Promotes relaxation and stress relief 💫 May improve skin appearance and radiance 💫 Helps you feel lighter and less sluggish
Perfect if you: ✔️ Sit at a desk all day ✔️ Travel regularly ✔️ Feel bloated or puffy ✔️ Struggle with fluid retention ✔️ Exercise regularly ✔️ Want to support your overall health and wellbeing
You don't need surgery to enjoy the benefits of lymphatic drainage massage. Think of it as a reset button for your body. ✨

So many new clients, so very few pictures 📸

✨ Why don't I have loads of before and after photos from my surgery clients? ✨
One question I get asked a lot is why I don't have hundreds of post-op photos to share.
The simple answer is that surgery is a very personal journey, and many clients prefer to keep it private.
People choose not to have their photos shared for many reasons, including:
🤍 Wanting to keep their surgery confidential from friends, family, colleagues, or employers.
🤍 Feeling self-conscious about their body during the healing process.
🤍 Not wanting images of intimate areas shared online, even anonymously.
🤍 Protecting their privacy and digital footprint.
🤍 Simply wanting to focus on their recovery without being featured on social media.
As a post-operative therapist, my clients' comfort, dignity, and confidentiality will always come before content. While I love showcasing results where permission is given, I completely respect those who choose to keep their journey private.
The fact that you don't see every client on my social media doesn't mean they aren't there. In fact, I have many wonderful surgery clients who trust me with their recovery but prefer to stay behind the scenes.
Thank you to every client who trusts me during such an important part of their journey. Your privacy is always respected here. 🤍✨

PrivacyMatters PostSurgeryRecover

I got myself back in the gym today after having 12 weeks off
I'm fully healed from surgery but still weighing a couple of pounds heavier than i want to be (I gained a stone for my surgery)
Its not swelling!!! Its a combination of easter eggs, excessive alcohol from numerous celebrations and co-op's finest mac and cheese which seems to have me in a chokehold at the minute 😋

My aim is not to be a skinny girl, I looked back at some pictures when I was sitting at 11st 7 and I honestly look awful- pictures attached 😅

I'm sitting at 12st 9 now and want to be around 12st 5ish so im aiming for 3-4 gyms sessions a week, more proteins and vegetables and less mac n cheese

I'm still doing 1 lymphatic drainage massage and week and will add in some Colombian wood therapy and maybe a few rf body sculpting sessions to get that Sn**ch back

If your fresh out of surgery
Remember these steps
Move your body little and often
Keep hydrated
Ditch that salt- it makes you swell so bad

Happy healing ✨️
