Compression Garments: Better Shaping and Faster Healing

If you have undergone surgery, you know how painful it feels when you move – whether you are moving the injured area or not. Your muscles throb relentlessly; you sweat with the discomfort, and feel a sharp sting with your every move.

You can suffer in silence or you can reduce and minimize pain by using compression garments.

Compression Garments 101

A compression garment is designed to help improve and increase blood circulation, get rid of potentially harmful fluids from your system, decrease your post surgery recovery time and reduce swelling. With restricted stretch fabric and, possibly, boning, post-surgical shapewear uses garment compression to limit the movement of the sutured areas to reduce pain.

Nowadays, compression garments can also be used for shaping your body and trimming off extra inches around your waist, hips, rear, and thighs. Garment compression can target a specific area or a big one depending on what style garment you are using.

Compression Garment Styles

Choosing a compression garment style depends on your healing and shaping needs. Some shapewear offer more garment compression than others, so you might want to check for the degree of control offered.

• Post-surgery bras.
  Ideal for breast surgery. These bras often have convenient front closures, wide side panels, and cushioned bands to provide extra support. Most bra styles may be used as leisure bras after you recover.
• Body briefers.
  Ideal for long sutured areas in your abdomen, back, or legs. Firm garment compression keeps your thighs and midsection from jiggling which may trigger pain.
• Waist cinchers.
  Ideal for abdominal sutures and post-liposuction. These shapers keep steady to avoid jarring sutures. These waist shapewear garments are also great for shaping your tummy area.
