Why are compression garments important to the success of my surgical procedure?
Wearing a high quality postoperative compression garment can help you during the recovery
process in the following ways:
Reduce swelling (edema) and flush potentially harmful fluids from your body- the garment
will provide compression on the skin that will push body fluids away from the skin, helping
to reduce swelling and aiding in flushing fluids from your body. Flushing fluids from your body
can help reduce bruising and the risk of infection during the healing process.
Aid in body contouring and skin retraction- the compression from the garment will help hold skin firmly
against the body, aiding in proper skin retraction and general body contouring. In addition, by having seams
on the outside of the garment, it will keep the garments from leaving indentations on the skin.
Improve comfort during healing process- A properly fitted; high quality compression garment will make
you much more comfortable during the recovery process by reducing swelling. In addition, the
lightweight, breathable material will make you much more comfortable when wearing the garment
for extended periods of time.
Why can't I wear active wear or fitted exercise garments?
It is essential that the compression garment worn during the recovery period provide targeted
compression, something that is not found in a standard girdle or athletic tights.
Athletic tights, girdles and jog bras also do not have outside flat seams, an open crotch and
are not intended for long term, 24-hour usage. You need a garment specifically designed to
compress the skin for surgical purposes and that is comfortable for the length of your recovery.
Your compression garment literally becomes your “second skin.”
What is the difference between a First Stage and a Second Stage compression garment?
First Stage garments provide compression immediately following surgery and worn for up to 2 weeks,
This zippered garment with reinforced seams allows for easy application and durability during the critical immediate postoperative period.
Second Stage garments provide continued healing compression and support during the second stage of
recovery (typically 2-8 weeks post-op). This non-zippered, pull-on garment is sized smaller for
additional support to the newly contoured body. Second stage garments also fit smoothly under
clothing as patients become more active and keep zippers from making impressions in the skin.
Do I need more than one garment?
We recommend that you have at least 2 zippered garments and 1 non-zippered garment. Immediately
post-op the doctor will put you in a zippered garment, this garment will become stained and soiled
very quickly. In order to maintain continuous compression, you can wear the second garment while the
first garment is being laundered. A few weeks after the surgery you will be able to wear the non-zippered garment, this garment is designed to help contour and shape the body.
Why should I provide pre-op measurements instead of post-op measurements for my compression garments?
Our First Stage compression garments are sized to accommodate expected swelling right after your surgical
procedure. Stage Two garments are sized smaller to fit your newly contoured body after swelling has subsided.
How do I know which size to order?
Measure your natural waist, which is generally 1” above the belly button and the narrowest part of your
waist. Next, measure the largest part of your hips. If you fall between sizes, use your normal pant/dress
size as a guide to determine the correct garment. Always remember that Customer Care is happy to help
with any sizing questions.
We recommend hand washing and line drying your compression garment. This will lengthen the life of the
garment and prevent premature shrinkage and/or loss of compressive qualities.
