Stage One Garment: A Stage One garment that goes with this Stage Two garment is available and can be found at: High Back Torso Brief with Bra (w/Zipper) - Stage One. The Stage One garment is worn immediately following surgery for the first 1-2 weeks of post-op before the Stage Two garment becomes necessary. The Stage One garment is less tight and bigger than the Stage Two garment due to the fact that you have more swelling during the initial phase of recovery. Doctors may recommend that patients wear compression garments during both Stage One (initial 1-2 weeks of post-op) and Stage Two (2-8 weeks post-op) of recovery. A Stage One garment helps improve blood circulation, minimizes swelling, flushes the boy out of harmful fluids, and accelerates the healing process. For this reason, a Stage One garment may be recommended. By having both the Stage One and Stage Two garments, the patient has the advantage of having continuous compression, which is essential for obtaining the best results during the recovery phase and for having the greatest degree of comfort.

When Is A Stage Two Garment Worn? A Stage Two garment is typically worn during 2-8 weeks or longer (depending on the doctor's instructions) of post-surgery after a Stage One garment is no longer appropriate. The Stage Two garment is worn once your Stage One garment (first 1-2 weeks of post-op) is no longer appropriate. Generally, the amount of time you will need to wear your garment will be reduced as your move forward in your healing journey. The compression garment is worn like long underwear underneath your clothing. It is recommended to wear loose-fitting clothing over the garment.

While remaining seated, you should now be able to gently position the garment into place on your upper body.
