At Azalea Therapy and Spa in Auckland, we go beyond traditional Manual Lymphatic Drainage by providing a specialized, holistic approach to Pre and Post-Surgical MLD. Our expert therapists understand the delicate nature of surgical recovery and tailor each session to ensure optimal healing, comfort, and care.
Surgery is a significant event for the body, and proper preparation and recovery can make a huge difference in the healing process. Pre-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage Massage helps reduce fluid retention, optimize circulation, and strengthen the immune system, ensuring your body is in its best condition before the procedure. Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage Massage aids in reducing swelling, minimizing scar tissue, and accelerating recovery, making the healing journey smoother and more comfortable. At Azalea Therapy and Spa, we provide expert care to support you before and after surgery, enhancing both physical recovery and overall well-being.
Pre and post-surgical MLD is beneficial for a variety of medical and cosmetic procedures, including:
Liposuction, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), facelifts, breast augmentation/reduction, BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)
Knee replacement, hip replacement, shoulder surgery
Mastectomy, lumpectomy, lymph node removal
Wisdom tooth extraction, jaw surgeries, rhinoplasty
At Azalea Therapy and Spa, we offer Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), one of the most promising non-invasive treatments for aiding Surgical Recovery. This advanced therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to target underlying tissues, helping to reduce pain, swelling, and discomfort. By improving circulation and enhancing skin health, LLLT provides a natural and effective solution for post-surgical recovery.

Body Assessment – Your session begins with a quick body assessment, where our expert therapists evaluate your specific needs and goals.
Targeted Treatment – Using advanced Brazilian-inspired techniques, our expert therapists concentrate on the areas that need it most. While this is a full-body massage, the focus is tailored to the specific parts of your body that require extra care and attention.
Ideally, you should begin pre-surgical massages 1-2 weeks before your scheduled surgery to optimize circulation and lymphatic function. It’s also recommended that your last massage session occur 1-2 days prior to the surgery.
This depends on your surgery type, but many patients start as early as one week post-surgery, with the approval of their surgeon.
