After many plastic surgery procedures, patients are required to wear specific garments that provide compression to the surgical area.
⠀
Patients are asked to wear these as often as possible (preferably 24/7) for usually around 4-6 weeks, depending on the procedure.
⠀
This can seem daunting to post-surgical patients. However, this is one of the most crucial steps to a quick and comfortable recovery, and can even help with the final results!
⠀
From breast to body, compression garments help with:

• circulation
• swelling
• bruising
• and can even provide relief from pain (or at least make patients feel more comfortable and secure).

Along with these benefits, garments help reduce fluid build-up and protect your incisions.
⠀
Wearing your post surgical garments correctly and for the time your surgeon recommends can sometimes determine the difference between good results and great, and can make for a quicker and more comfortable recovery!
