After
getting almost any cosmetic procedure, part of the
doctor recommended
healing process is to
wear compression garments.
This type of
clothing is essential for blood circulation,
reduction of swelling, ridding the body of harmful
fluids, and accelerating the healing process. In
addition, it promotes the
even healing of your skin,
helps skin adapt to its new form, and
speeds up your return to your daily routine. The
majority of this recovery attire has the seams on
the
outside along with zippers and such to prevent
indentations in the sensitive skin.
Compression Garments
are an important element of the healing
process for numerous cosmetic surgeries including
breast procedures,
liposuction and lifts of any
kind. Browse through our selection of

garments today, by clicking on the above links, to

One
particular form of recovery clothing is a

Stages of Compression Garments
First Stage Compression Garments:
Stage one
compression
garments are
designed with eye hooks and zippers to minimize
friction and ease pulling against tender skin and
incisions. Most physicians recommend that you wear
them 24 hours a day.
Examples:
Tummy Tuck Garments,
Abdominal Binders,
Liposuction Girdles,
Compression Sleeves,
and
Surgical Bras
Second Stage Compression Garments apply lighter
compression after leaving
the first stage compression garments. These garments
continue the healing
process while allowing the patient to pursue their
active lifestyle and daily routine.
Second stage garments are to be worn under regular
clothing but promote
discretion.
Examples:
Waistnippers,
Camisoles,
Second Stage
Girdles
Why do I need two compression garments?
Because of the average length of time wearing a
compression garment (4-6 weeks), it is a good idea
to have at least a clean spare. You will
always have a clean one to wear while washing the
other.
