Liposuction Compression Garments

Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgery that removes fat from your body. The removal process, wherein the fact is suctioned out, is an effective way to reshape, smooth, and slim down your body. Post liposuction compression garments are an essential part of a patient’s recovery process from this surgery.

Why is it important to use Liposuction garments post surgery? After liposuction has taken place, it’s very important that the affected areas of your body be tightly bound. Post liposuction compression garments are what doctors recommend and patients use to achieve this condition. There are several reasons that this kind of post operative compression is necessary:

1) If your doctor used an open drainage approach to your liposuction surgery, then post liposuction compression garments are necessary to expel and drain the anesthetic fluid that the surgery has left floating just under your skin. Open drainage operations require less time with a liposuction garment post surgery.

 

2) If on the other hand your surgical incisions were closed with stitches, liposuction garments are necessary to pressure the fluid back into your bloodstream and drain the affected area of free-floating anesthetic solution.

 

3) No matter what kind of operation you had, a good liposuction garment post surgery will ensure good circulation, helping your body to heal itself and adapt to its new form.

 

4) Liposuction garments help to reduce swelling in the areas of your body that have been operated on. Without proper post surgical care, your body can bruise and swell (called osmotic- edema), and your recovery process won’t be as fast as it should be.

There’s no reason any liposuction patient shouldn’t have a safe and healthy recovery from their surgery. These compression garments are the key to ensuring that your liposuction and post surgical recovery period are great successes.

Types of Garments

There are several areas of the body where liposuction can be performed, and therefore several different types of compression clothing and bonding that doctors recommend for a successful recovery. Here at Recovery Elements, we make it a point to have every kind of post surgical garment a liposuction patient could need.

We offer our customers body suits, compression girdles, male garmentsand shapers.

Body Suits - Many people choose to have multiple plastic surgical procedures performed at once. A body suit is a full body post liposuction compression garment that aids the recovery process for several surgeries at once (for instance, a liposuction procedure and a breast augmentation done at the same time).

Compression Girdles - These are for more specific liposuction compression needs, including tummy tucks. When recovering from surgery, most doctors proscribe round the clock usage of a liposuction garment, so most patients invest in two.

Male Garments - Of course, it’s not only women who undergo liposuction procedures. Recovery Elements provides high quality compression wear made especially for the male body.

Shapers- These compression garments, which can be full body suits, are a safe alternative to liposuction procedures. They constrict, shape and smooth your body to hide unseemly fat deposits, and are worn (invisibly) underneath your regular clothing.
