POST-OPERATIVE COMPRESSION GARMENTS
A compression garment is a special postoperative garment used during recovery after various surgical procedures such as liposuction, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), lifting, fat transfer, facial surgery and many others.
Precisely targeted and permanent compression in the operated area helps stabilise tissue, improves blood circulation around the wound, reduces swelling and hematomas and helps speed up healing.

Why should I wear post-operative compression garments?
Compression therapy is an integral part of recovery after plastic-aesthetic procedures. It helps speed up the overall healing process and can positively influence the desired result of the aesthetic procedure.
A carefully selected postoperative garment with optimal compression brings you several advantages:
Reduces swelling and bruising
Swelling and bruising are our body’s natural response to the healing process. A precisely targeted and continuous pressure helps reduce the accumulation of bodily fluids around the wound and limits the formation of bruises.
Improves blood circulation
Precisely targeted and stable compression pressure supports blood and lymph circulation in the treated area, which contributes to better oxygenation and nutrition of the tissue and accelerates the healing process.
Helps stabilise tissue
Compression garment provides a gentle yet firm support in the operated area, which can help improve tissue adherence.
Helps prevent creation of keloid and hypertrophic scars
By wearing compression garments after plastic surgery, you can significantly contribute to minimizing the risk of keloid and hypertrophic scars.
Helps reduce pain and discomfort
Thanks to the continuous pressure that the garment exerts on the affected area, it can relieve you of postoperative pain and reduce the overall feeling of discomfort.
Shapes the contours
In addition to health benefits, you can also contribute to better aesthetic results with the correct compression. Compression garments help contour the treated area and shape the desired curves.
How long should I wear my compression garment?
You should wear your compression garment continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 6-8 weeks after the procedure.
Always consult your operating physician for the exact recommendations.
First six weeks after surgery:
A feeling of security and support after the procedure
You should wear your compression garments continuously during the first six weeks after the procedure. Use the power of compression to help you recover. Only remove your garments briefly - for example, when showering or changing clothes.
From six weeks onwards:
Slowly returning to your everyday life
After six weeks, your surgeon may recommend wearing compression postoperative garments only during physically demanding activities. However, many of our patients like to wear them long after recovery.

COMPRESSION IS NOT STANDARD WEAR
Our sizes may vary from your normal ready-to-wear size and it is therefore essential that you measure yourself carefully and refer to our size charts before placing your order.
