Clinical FAQ — Post-Operative Recovery
What you need to know about drainage protocols, swelling management and follow-up at the clinic.
When should lymphatic drainage begin after liposuction or abdominoplasty?+
From the first days after surgery (often between day 2 and day 5), always with your surgeon's approval. Gentle, precise manual work drains interstitial fluid and quickly relieves inflammation.
Why is lymphatic drainage essential after plastic surgery?+
Surgery congests the lymphatic channels. Manual drainage restores fluid circulation, resorbs haematomas and durably prevents fibrosis and subcutaneous rippling.
How many sessions are usually needed?+
A typical course runs from 8 to 15 sessions, depending on the treated area, the surgical protocol and how tissue healing progresses.
Is post-operative lymphatic drainage painful?+
No. The clinical protocol respects the patient's comfort threshold and uses gentle, rhythmic superficial manoeuvres, without harsh crushing of the tissues.
How are fibrosis and rippling treated after liposuction?+
With targeted manual therapy for progressive defibrosing and, where indicated, compressive Kinesio Taping to drain the indurations continuously.
Do you welcome international patients staying in Tunis for surgery?+
Yes. A condensed daily schedule is regularly arranged to support patients coming from abroad during their recovery period in Tunisia.
