About

A passion for massage for over 20 years

Trained as a physiotherapist, I have been practising massage for more than twenty years. Massage and manual drainage have become the core of my expertise. Before and after cosmetic surgery, I offer wellness massages whose effects aim to relieve pain, reduce swelling, promote good healing and limit complications, with personalised advice at every stage of your recovery. These sessions are carried out in line with your surgeon’s instructions. They are not physiotherapy care and do not replace medical follow-up.

Complete confidentiality, at my practice or in Paris palace hotels: no photos, no information shared.

Post-operative care, the key to a successful surgery, helps with

01
Swelling (oedema) Manual lymphatic drainage helps swelling go down faster and eases the feeling of tightness.
02
Bruising and haematomas It helps clear bruises and superficial haematomas.
03
Seroma If fluid builds up or anything unusual appears, I recommend that you contact your surgeon without delay.
04
Fibrosis and hardening As tissues heal, they can thicken and make the skin hard and stiff: this is fibrosis. Regular care helps prevent it and soften hardened areas, especially after liposuction.
05
Adhesions and irregularities Manual tissue work helps limit adhesions, dips and bumps under the skin.
06
Scars Once healed, scar massage makes scars softer and less visible.

How it works

Your recovery, step by step

01

Before surgery

Get in touch as soon as your date is set. A pre-operative session prepares your tissues, and we book your post-op sessions so everything is ready at the right time.

02

First sessions

They can begin 24 to 48 hours after surgery, following your surgeon’s instructions, at my practice or at your hotel.

03

A tailored pace

Sessions of 1 to 1.5 hours, frequent at first, then more spaced out as you recover, depending on your surgery and progress.

04

Advice and support

Compression garment, everyday movements, scar care: I guide you at every stage and, depending on how things evolve, I will recommend that you contact your surgeon.

FAQ

Your questions

No. Our sessions are wellness massages: no diagnosis, no treatment, no prescription, and no reimbursement by the national health insurance (Assurance Maladie). They do not replace medical follow-up. After surgery, ask your surgeon for their opinion before booking.

Yes. One or more pre-operative sessions prepare your tissues and help you approach surgery with peace of mind. It is also a chance to meet and plan your support.

It depends on your surgery and on what your surgeon recommends. Drainage can start 24 to 48 hours after surgery, sometimes the very next day: it relieves you, reduces swelling and reassures you from the first days. Ideally, book before your operation.

Between 1 hour and 1.5 hours, depending on the surgery and the areas to treat.

Usually within 24 to 48 hours. Contact me on WhatsApp and I will reply quickly.

Comfortable clothing, your compression garment and your foam pads, if they have been prescribed.

No, sessions are not reimbursed by French national health insurance. Fees are available on request.

Manual drainage constantly adapts to your tissues, your sensitivity and fragile areas. Hands also sense more sensitive or tense areas, so pressure can be adjusted. Machines can complement, but do not replace this support.

Yes, I welcome international clients in English.

No. The techniques are gentle and always adapted to your sensitivity and the state of your tissues. The aim is to relieve you.

Yes, following your surgeon’s instructions. You take it off for the session and put it back on right after.

It depends on your surgery and your recovery. We set the number of sessions together, following your surgeon’s recommendations.

Yes. As soon as you are back in Paris, I take over your post-operative support.

Where fat has been reinjected (face, buttocks after a BBL…), I never massage those areas. Trained in this type of care, I only work on the areas your surgeon allows.

Yes, I visit Paris palace hotels and luxury hotels, with complete discretion.
