How
Can A Compression Garment Recovery Kit Benefit My Healing Journey?
The Store features
a wide variety of specialized Compression Garment Recovery Kits for liposuction
on every part of the body (upper body, mid body, lower body, chest, abdomen,
arms, back, shoulders, thighs, legs, calves, and all other body areas). These
Recovery Kits provide a powerful way to maximize your healing benefits by having
compression during both Stage One (initial 1-2 weeks of post-op) and Stage Two
(2-8 weeks post-op) of recovery. Each Kit includes a Stage One compression garment
and a matching Stage Two compression garment. Additionally, some compression
garment kits include a Thong Support Garment (provided as a bonus free product
that normally sells for $12 outside the Kit) that helps minimize swelling that
can descend downward to one’s private region due to gravity. Depending
on your doctor, you may need to wear compression garments during both the First
Stage and Second Stage of recovery. With a Recovery Kit, you have the advantage
of having continuous compression for both Stages of recovery, which is essential
for obtaining the best results during the recovery phase and for having the
greatest degree of comfort. The garments provided in each Recovery Kit improve
blood circulation, minimize swelling after the procedure, flush the body out
of potentially harmful fluids, accelerate the healing process, and allow the
patient to return to daily routines sooner. The compression garments provided
in each Recovery Kit also provide support to surgical areas for more comfort
and help the skin fit better to it new contours. Compression garments are worn
like long underwear underneath your clothing.
The following are
explanations for each type of product found in a Recovery Kit:
First
Stage Garments
A first stage compression
garment is typically worn immediately after the surgery and continuously for
several days (or longer depending on the doctor’s instructions) and then
non-continuously for the initial 1-2 weeks of post-op. During the initial period
of post-op, your doctor may instruct you to wear this garment constantly (even
while sleeping) and only remove it when you need to go to the bathroom or to
shower. Generally, the amount of time you will need to wear your garment will
be reduced as you move forward in your healing journey. Due to heavy drainage
and long, continuous periods of time that you may need to wear the garment,
it is recommended to purchase 2 Stage One garments.
Second
Stage Garments
A second stage
garment is typically worn during 2-8 weeks post-op (or longer, depending on
the doctor’s instructions). A second stage garment is worn once your first
stage 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. Second stage garments are sized smaller,
are more fashionable, and have a less bulky appearance than first stage garments.
Thong
Support Garment (Bonus Free Product & $12 in savings)
Some compression
garment recovery kits include a Thong Support Garment as a bonus free product
(normally sells for $12 outside the Kit), which helps minimize swelling that
can descend downward to one’s private region due to gravity.
