Post surgery compression shapewear is a specially designed garment that helps in postoperative therapy for plastic-aesthetic procedures that include liposuction, mammoplasty, breast enlargement or reconstruction, tummy tuck, face lifting, neck lifting etc.

The Benefits of Post-Surgical Compression Garments

Wearing a firm control shapewear that provides support is an essential part of the post-surgery recovery process. The use of a compressive shapewear designed to treat your particular procedure can reduce the appearance of a bruise and swelling at the surgical zone. The compression from the shapewear will keep the incision area tightly in place, resulting in the right abjuration and desirable body shaping.

Why you should wear a post-surgery supportive shapewear?

The main benefit of wearing post-surgical shapewear is the fact that it accelerates the healing process so the patient can quickly return to their regular activities and routines.

  • Reduces bruises and swelling

  • Minimizes the risk of infection

  • Accelerates the recovery process

  • Shapes the silhouette and braces the implants

  • Reduces the appearance of keloid scars

  • Alleviates pain


Sometimes, not wearing proper post-surgical supportive garment can result in serious issues. One of them can be a significantly different outcome of the surgery than that which the patient was hoping for. 

Fit tips for choosing the right size shapewear

In order to choose the right size, you should always fit the garments before the procedure. In spite of the fact, that your body will turn smaller after liposuction, for the first several weeks after surgery, you still won’t see any changes, so in this period, your body will still be the same size as it was. You should consider taking post-surgery shapewear to the hospital so you can take measurements before your procedure. Your doctor can also help you make the right post-surgery garment choice based on his estimation of surgery results. By the time, at some point, you might feel that compression turns looser as swelling decreases. That’s when you will have to replace your shapewear with a smaller garment.

How long will you need post-surgery compression garment?

Post-surgery shapewear should be worn minimum 6-8 weeks after surgery. Take them off every time you are taking a bath or shower. If you don’t feel comfortable sleeping in it, opt for fitting yoga pants, a post-surgical bra with soft cups or even a sports bra depending on the procedure.

You should always have multiple shapewear garments, so you make sure you always have a laundered shapewear ready. Many surgical procedures require wearing compression garment continuously for a long period of time, but the design and material used in post-surgery compression garment make sure you don’t experience any discomfort during this period.
