WHO THIS IS FOR

This course is for licensed healthcare professionals only — LMTs, PTs, Nurses, Kinesiologists, and other credentialed practitioners working in post-surgery treatments. Courses are provided for educational and professional development purposes only. They do not grant professional licensure, expand scope of practice, or authorize restricted procedures. Post-surgical tissue is inflamed, fragile, and in an active state of repair. Treated incorrectly, it doesn't just fail to help — it causes real, often permanent harm: seromas, indentation, fibrosis. Every year, patients are placed on tables by providers with no license, and no training, to touch post-surgical tissue at all — and the damage rarely surfaces until it's too late to correct. Post-Surgery Drainage After Plastic Surgery is a clinical specialization, not an add-on service. If you're a licensed professional ready to treat it as one, credential verification is required before enrollment.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

✔ 6 Chapters, 46 Lessons — a complete curriculum, not a single afternoon of technique. See complete curriculum below.  ✔ Required assessment after every module — you must demonstrate understanding to advance; this isn't passive video-watching ✔ Real-patient clinical demonstrations — see the technique applied to actual post-surgical cases, not staged mannequin footage ✔ Certificate of Completion — issued only after all 7 modules and assessments are passed ✔ Self-paced, — learn on your own schedule ✔ Direct instruction from the technique's creator — not a licensed reseller teaching someone else's method ✔ Built on 33 years of clinical practice and 1,500+ documented cases — not theory, applied outcomes
