This patient has a stage 1 compression garment including a short sleeved vest to compress and protect her breast revision surgery and a short girdle to protect and support her abdominal and lower back liposuction. These garments are worn for about 3-4 weeks as the first stage garment to provide a moderate amount of compression as things heal. Compression garments are important as they help with swelling, edema, contour and final results after surgery. Also remember with surgery there is some disruption of the lymphatics, so these garments help to ensure adequate drainage as well and support of the lymphatic system. Marena makes a great garment that I have been using in my practice as long as I have been in practice.This is a behind the scenes look at the process, and yes garments are all placed by the surgical team while the patient is asleep! #marenapartner”.
