The word Facial Surgery is
often associated with a nip here and a tuck there, but this can be totally
unnecessary as similar results can be achieved with the Natural Face Lift
Massage treatments that I practice and teach.
However, Reconstructive
Facial Surgery is totally different as this surgery can be both medically
necessary and life saving in cases of facial injury, deformity or diseases such
as cancer and the medical profession can perform some amazing surgery to help
patients and save lives.
The main part of my practice
has been to use non-invasive natural techniques, Reiki, Acupressure and
Ayurvedic Massage, to help clients to look younger and more vibrant, but I have
also had the privilege of treating a small number of clients who have had major
reconstructive facial surgery.These
clients have all had similar experiences in that the surgery performed has been
successful and they are grateful that they have been given their lives back,
but the appearance of the scarring, post operation, has left them with some
facial disfigurement and discomfort.
At present there is no
aftercare offered to patients following facial surgery.
One particular patient, who
had plastic surgery, following removal of a tumour, found that my massage
techniques have enabled her to have more movement around the mouth, as the
treatment has released the tightness and tension of her facial muscles. This in
turn has helped her eat and drink (she is no longer dribbling) and with her
speech.She is also now experiencing
sensations in areas around her mouth that were previously numb and improved her
vision, where the therapy has helped lift the drooping eye lid.The best feedback I received from her, was
that she now felt a renewed self-confidence and is smiling in public for the
first time in many years.
Through working with these
patients I have discovered how the therapy I practice, can offer a non-invasive
alternative to assist patients in their recovery after facial surgery.By giving movement and flexibility back to
areas of the face that had previously been immobile and to reduce the physical
appearance of scarring and adhesions.
It is for these reasons I
have been considering the wider applications of this therapy and I am asking
for your help.I would like to document
a number of case studies and offer 8 sessions of this therapy, free of charge,
to 3 or 4 people who have had reconstructive facial surgery and who would like
to see and feel an improvement in their appearance.I hope to present this evidence to Plastic & Maxillofacial
Surgeons once these studies have been completed, so that my treatments can be
made available to others who at present are not offered any post surgical
care.
If you, or a friend or
relative have had facial surgery and are interested in becoming a case study,
please contact me on 01923 855780.
