Recovery is a method,
not luck.
I am Neiva Cimini , the specialist whom plastic surgeons in Belgium trust for their patients' recovery. And I train the professionals the market still lacks.
The surgery ends. The result doesn't.
Unrelenting swelling, fibrosis, seroma, skin that won't settle. And the feeling that something is wrong, but nobody knows how to explain what.
Many people undergo surgery, sometimes on the other side of the world, and return without anyone qualified to care for what comes next. Without protocol, without method, without someone who understands what happens inside the body at each healing stage.
It's then, in the weeks no one photographs, that the result is either won or lost.
"Postoperative care is science. Surgery is science. Recovery must be too."
Where I can help you.
Post-operative recovery
Care guided by the phase of healing, in collaboration with your surgeon.
Lymphatic drainage
A clinical technique — post-op and health: it moves fluid and protects tissue.
Lipedema
Conservative management of a chronic disorder of fat tissue.
Lymphedema
Long-term control of lymphatic build-up, with technique and compression.
The Neiva Cimini® Method
Postoperative recovery with a physiological foundation, not spa aesthetics.
Most of the mistakes I see in the market have one cause: intervention at the wrong time. Aggressive pressure too early can injure tissue that is still fragile and inflamed — and irritated tissue is harder to guide toward a smooth result. The more force applied at the wrong moment, the more you tend to work against the healing, not with it. It is a principle of caution: read the phase of the tissue before you touch it.
The method does the opposite: it respects the body's timing, stage by stage.
Anatomical Precision
Each maneuver follows the real layout of the lymphatic system and the type of surgery. I know where to direct the fluid — and that changes the outcome.
Fascial Work
Tissue release and modeling at the right time, to restore the body's natural glide and protect the contour the surgeon designed.
Nervous System Regulation
The body only recovers calmly. I manage pain, stress, and sleep — not just swelling.

From Rio de Janeiro to a clinical reference in Belgium.
I arrived in Belgium in 2016 and had to start from scratch: without a valid local diploma, without a client base, without a name.
I started with lymphatic drainage and learned in practice what books don't teach: that everything in recovery revolves around one thing: inflammation control. Over time, my name became the go-to for what no one else wanted to handle: the complications. The cases of surgeries abroad returning with fibrosis. Edema that wouldn't go down. Results at risk.
That's how surgeons started trusting me, and today I practice inside a plastic surgery clinic in Meise, follow highly complex lymphatic surgeries, and train doctors and teams who want to implement postoperative care the market still lacks.
Not because I do "massage". Because I transformed postoperative recovery into a clinical method.
