For patients undergoing body contouring surgery procedures, the post operative plan includes wearing garments for a certain amount of time. The recommended type of garment and length of wear is specific to the procedure performed.

WHAT POST SURGICAL GARMENTS DO:

  • Minimize swelling
  • Promote healthy blood circulation
  • Reduce bulging or rippling in the treatment area
  • Improve and support mobility

 

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN PURCHASING GARMENTS:

  • Good fit: Moderate compression but not so tight it cuts off circulation
  • Easy to put on and take off
  • Washable

 

Overall, the garment should completely cover the treated area and not leave any treated area exposed. Dr. McDonald advises to wear the garments 24/7 for the first week, although it’s safe to remove when washing or showering.  The most important thing is that the garment is comfortable enough that the patient WILL wear it.
