About me
My path to post-operative care after plastic surgery
I started as a massage therapist and gradually specialised in manual lymphatic drainage. More and more women came to me after cosmetic procedures – with swelling, uncertainty and worry about whether their body would heal the way they had imagined.
So it was a natural next step in my work to focus on post-operative care as well - from manual lymphatic drainage to working with scars and fibrosis.
Today I run the Viktoria Massage salon network and pass on my experience through Viktoria Massage Academy, where I train other therapists.
I believe that quality care after surgery is not a luxury. It is a natural part of the journey to your result.
What I do
Post-op massage after plastic surgery
After surgery your body needs help. Swelling, hardening of tissue and uneven healing can affect the final result even after a perfect procedure.
I specialise in post-operative care after tummy tuck, liposuction, BBL, breast augmentation, facelift, mommy makeover and other cosmetic surgeries.
My work begins exactly where the operating room ends - post-op massage and manual lymphatic drainage in Bratislava and Senec, or at your home by arrangement.
Manual lymphatic drainage
Targeted drainage of lymph and excess fluid. It reduces swelling and tension, eases pain and significantly speeds up recovery.
Scar care
Working with the scar as soon as healing allows - so that it stays soft, mobile and as invisible as possible over time.
01
Consultation
We go through the type of procedure, the date of surgery and your surgeon's recommendations.
02
Therapy plan

03
Therapy

04
Home care
I'll teach you what to do between sessions - compression, movement, scar care.
What is post-op massage?
After surgery your body needs more than just time – it needs guidance. In the acute healing phase, roughly weeks 1 to 6 after the procedure, I provide care that combines several techniques:
Manual lymphatic drainage
Reduces swelling and supports the natural outflow of fluid.
Device-assisted treatments
Complement manual work and speed up healing.
Anti-fibrotic techniques
Counteract tissue hardening and adhesions.
Scar work
So that it stays soft, mobile and as invisible as possible over time.
I always choose the type and intensity of treatment according to the healing stage you are in. So it is not one universal massage, but therapy tailored to your body and your procedure.
The emotional side of recovery is just as important. I guide you through the whole healing process – I explain what is normal at each stage, what you can expect and when you should not hesitate to get in touch. I also make sure your compression is right, as it strongly affects the final result.
That is why post-op massage is not just a massage. It is expert guidance on the way to the result you have been looking forward to.

For plastic surgeons
A reliable partner for your patients' post-operative phase
Post-operative care is an extension of your work. I offer structured cooperation: a clear protocol, feedback on the course of healing and therapists trained in one consistent method.

A result that lasts
Systematic lymphatic drainage reduces the risk of persistent swelling, seromas and fibrosis - exactly what most often spoils the impression of an otherwise excellent procedure.
Respect for your protocol
I follow your post-operative instructions. I adapt therapy to the type of procedure, compression and the timeline you set.
One consistent method
I personally train the therapists I work with in my method. Your patients get the same quality of care wherever they are.
