If you feel unsure, anxious, or underprepared when working with clients after aesthetic and cosmetic plastic surgery
You're not alone.
Many skilled, compassionate therapists worry about doing harm or not knowing enough when faced with someone who has had liposuction, abdominoplasty or Brazilian Butt Lift surgery.
The truth?
Basic Manual Lymph Drainage alone isn't enough to treat these clients safely.
But with the right advanced training, you can become the go-to postoperative therapist surgeons trust and clients seek out.

Here's what previous students had to say about the course...

Kerry
"Now I'm the local expert"
I used to avoid postop cases. now I attract referrals from surgeons

Jo-Anna
"Worth every penny"
Petra's training boosted my confidence immediately. I now treat postop patients without hesitations

Brittany
"My clients recover faster"
This course gave me tools my CDT training skipped. It's detailed, practical and rooted in real client care

Misrak
"I finally feel credible"
Everything fell into place after this training. I understand complications and feel like a true professional
Meet Your Instructor - Petra Erving
Founder of the Aftercare Academy, I have over 20 years experience helping clients with complex recovery needs - from lymphoedema and lipoedema to post-cancer and aesthetic plastic surgery recovery.
I've worked alongside some of the UK's leading consultants in lymphoedema and plastic surgery and am known for my science-led, evidence-based approach to Manual Lymphatic Therapy and Postoperative care.
Today, I teach therapists around the world how to confidently and safely treat clients after aesthetic surgery - and how to build a thriving, premium practice doing this important work.

Why This Training Stands Out
Most courses barely scratch the surface. This one goes deep.
Unlike generic 1 - 2 day workshops or short certifications, this immersive workshop give you:
- A complete understanding of aesthetic surgery healing timelines
- Advanced, safe and effective treatment protocols
- A live look inside the operating theatre (UK only)
- Real credibility in a fast-growing but unregulated space
Don't just dabble. Master it!
