Recovery
is a method,
not luck.
I am Neiva Cimini , the specialist whom plastic surgeons in Europe 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."
From Rio de Janeiro to a clinical reference in Europe.
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 Brussels, follow highly complex lymphatic surgeries, and train doctors and teams who want to implement postoperative care that doesn't yet exist in Europe.
Not because I do "massage". Because I transformed postoperative recovery into a clinical method.
Read my full journey →The Neiva Cimini® Method
Postoperative recovery with a physiological foundation, far from spa aesthetics.
Most of the mistakes I see in the market have one cause: intervention at the wrong time. Strong massage too early causes microtrauma. Microtrauma produces collagen. Collagen turns into fibrosis. The more force applied, the worse it gets: a vicious cycle that perpetuates as long as someone doesn't understand what is truly happening inside the tissue.
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 performed. I know where to direct the fluid, and that changes the outcome. There is no one-size-fits-all: each body responds differently, and my job is to read it.
Fascial Work
Tissue release and modeling at the right time, to restore the body's natural glide, prevent adhesions, and protect the contour the surgeon designed. The aesthetic result starts here.
Nervous System Regulation
The body only recovers safely and calmly. I manage pain, stress, and sleep, not just swelling. Because recovery isn't just about what is swollen: it's immunity, healing, and quality of life.

See the training →Starting is simple: three steps.
Initial assessment
We discuss your surgery, the stage you are at, and what your doctor recommended. No commitment, no pressure. The goal is to understand your case in depth, not fit you into a generic package.
Tailored plan
I design the right care plan for your recovery: number of sessions, intervals, technologies, and stage-specific protocols. Every plan is individual, because every body responds differently.
Guided recovery
I guide you through every stage, from inflammation to remodeling. I am here to protect your result, answer questions, and give you safety until you're fully discharged. You are not left alone midway.
Trusted by those who operate and those who recover.
Become a reference in postoperative care.
