Tummy Tuck Compression Garments
Minimize Swelling, Help Skin Fit Better To New Shape, Speed Up
Healing, Improve Circulation
Travel
to the Support
& Compression Garments department of the Store, where you can
try out a wide variety of well-fitting, high-quality, and comfortable garments
for your tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). The Store has garments for both women
and men. Following a tummy tuck, your doctor will ask you to wear a compression
garment. Wearing a compression garment after tummy tuck is essential to improve
blood circulation, minimize swelling after the procedure, accelerate the healing
process, and allow the patient to return to daily routines sooner. A compression
garment also provides support to surgical areas for more comfort and helps the
skin fit better to its new contours. Depending on your doctor, you may need
to wear compression garments during both the First Stage (initial 1-2 weeks
of post-op) and Second Stage (2-8 weeks post-op) of recovery. For this reason,
you may need to get both a First Stage garment and a Second Stage garment.

Cool off in the
Cold
& Hot Therapy department of the Store where you may find a wide
variety of specialized product solutions for treating post-operative swelling
and bruising. The department includes specialized cold and hot compresses that
can effectively provide both cold and hot therapy to swollen and bruised areas.
As the surgery causes post-operative swelling and bruising to take shape, cold
and hot therapy is needed to help reduce these symptoms. Cold therapy is very
effective for reducing swelling, relieving sensations of pain, and accelerating
the healing process. Hot therapy helps break down and disintegrate bruising
discolorations and provides moisture or dry heat to areas of discomfort. Hot
therapy can also be soothing on sore areas and tissues that have undergone surgery.

Transform your
resting area into the perfect recovery nest by visiting the Recovery
& Comfort Pillows floor, where
you can find bed wedge pillows that are specially designed to provide proper
alignment and to keep your affected swollen areas (upper and lower abdomen)
comfortably elevated in a 45 degree angle that helps reduce swelling. Elevation
enables optimal blood circulation to all the vital healing areas. Many patients
find bed wedges to be a superior and more comfortable elevation solution compared
to putting oneself above pillows on a bed. The advantages of wedges compared
to pillows are that they are sturdy, you do not have to worry about slipping
off as you would with pillows, you have far less tension and stress on your
body, and you do not have to periodically rearrange the wedge as you would with
pillows that shift around and fall.
The Convoluted Bed Wedge (w/pillow cover) has an "egg-crate like" design and provides an incline design to keep your affected swollen areas comfortably elevated in an angle that is optimal for reducing swelling. In daily life, the wedge can be used everyday for breathing comfort, pressure relief, and for the treatment of swollen feet, acid reflux disease, and hiatal hernia.
The Memory Foam Bed Wedge (w/pillow cover) has a layer of visco elastic memory foam that responds to the body's temperature through the transfer of body heat, resulting in a pillow surface that is shaped like your body. The pillow is designed with an incline design that keeps your affected swollen areas comfortably elevated in an angle that is optimal for reducing swelling.

Take the natural
path to healing in the Healing
Vitamins, Supplements & Homeopathic Remedies aisle of the Store,
where you can find healing supplements and homeopathic remedies (arnica montana,
bromelain) products that can accelerate healing, shorten recovery time, minimize
post-operative swelling and bruising, support wound healing and improve scar
appearance, help you have less pain and discomfort, promote repair and growth
of tissues damaged by surgery, and protect the body from infection by enhancing
the immune system defenses.
The Make Me Heal plastic surgery healing multinutrient - post-op formula (with bromelain; no Vitamin E) is designed specifically to help patients accelerate healing and obtain better cosmetic results following plastic surgery (as well as general surgeries) by providing all the vital healing supplements, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids that have been shown to be vital for recovery from surgery. Taken in tablet/pill form starting the day after surgery or several days following surgery (as soon as patient is comfortable swallowing pills), this post-op healing multinutrient formula helps speed up recovery by strengthening the body�s natural healing process, helping reduce swelling and bruising, supporting wound healing, promoting repair and growth of tissues damaged by surgery, and by protecting the body from infection by enhancing the immune system defenses.

Minimize the appearance
of your scars by biking to the Scar
Healing & Apperance Improvement floor of the Store, where you
can find scar healing creams, silicone gels and ointments, and silicone sheets
that are specially designed to improve the healing of your scars and help in
scar reduction. These scar reduction products can help flatten, soften and smoothen
the scar, limit scar growth and size, and reduce scar thickness. These scar
treatments can also lessen redness surrounding the scar, reduce the discomfort
of itching that can occur along the scar lines, and help maintain the skin’s
moisture balance and elasticity of adjacent skin. Scar healing products can
be effective and have benefits for months following a cosmetic procedure.
This medical professional-level silicone sheet helps reduce the scar size, thickness, height, and color of all types of scars, including new and old scars, post-surgery scars, keloids, hypertrophic scars, and other scar types caused by injury, trauma, and burns. By flattening, softening, smoothing, and blending the scar with surrounding healthy skin, these soft, breathable silicone sheets helps make the scar far less noticeable. Silicone sheets are easier and more convenient to apply than scar gels because they are non-greasy, provide direct beneficial pressure to the scar, and do not stick to clothes. This silicone sheet can be used for tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), buttock augmentation (when the incision is in waist or underneath the fold of the buttocks), C-section scars, stenotomy scars, and scars following open heart procedures.
Recommended by plastic surgeons and dermatologists, this silicone sheet is medically proven in helping reduce the appearance, size, height, thickness, and color of scars for all skin types and color. Scar Fx works well on both new and old scars regardless of the age of the scar, and can be used on all types of post-surgery scars, hypertrophic and keloid scars, and other scar types caused by injury, trauma, and burns. Made with all natural, soft, flexible silicone that contours easily to any part of the body, Scar Fx is an inexpensive approach for making your scar softer and smoother, neutralizing the scar color, and for flattening raised scars. By flattening, softening, smoothing, and blending the scar with the surrounding healthy skin, these silicone sheets help make the scar far less noticeable. Can be used for liposuction, tummy tuck, upper and lower body contouring and lift procedures, breast surgery (augmentation, reduction, lift), arm procedures (brachioplasty, lift, reduction), thigh lift (thighplasty), and cosmetic procedures following gastric bypass or bariatric surgery.
As the only silicone scar cream/gel product on the market with a patented self-drying mechanism, Kelo-cote Scar Gel is a scar reduction ointment formulated to help flatten, soften, smooth, and reduce the color of all types of scars, including new and old scars, post-surgery scars, keloids, hypertrophic scars, superficial scars, healed-over lacerations, various forms of dermatitis, insect bites, minor burns, scars resulting from skin diseases, and other scar types. With Kelocote, the scar and surface of the skin surrounding the scar become smoothed, soothed and enhanced. Kelo-cote also helps eliminate redness surrounding a scar, maintains the moisture balance in the skin, and aids in healing of damaged skin.
Containing more ingredients that promote scar healing and scar reduction than any other scar cream on the market, Scar Esthetique Scar Reduction Cream contains silicone (dimethicone), Arnica Montana and Calendula, onion extract (found in Mederma), Vitamin A, C, D & E, Copper Peptides, CoEnzyme Q10, Beta Carotene, Pycnogenol, Glucosamine, Lecithin, Algae and Seaweed Extract, and other ingredients that have been shown to be effective for reducing scars.

To help you rest
and heal in style, the Recovery
& Comfort Pillows aisle features a wide variety of pillows
that can maximize your comfort and help you avoid muscle tension and aches during
the healing journey. Due to the need to rest and sleep (often in an elevated
position) during the initial phase of recovery, having to remain in the same
position for long periods of time causes patients to experience all kinds of
muscle tension and aches in areas such as the neck, shoulders, back, arms, buttocks,
knees, and legs. This leads to patients having difficulties resting and sleeping
properly during the recovery and is a cause for frustration. Fortunately, there
are some special comfort pillows that are specifically designed to reduce tension
and discomfort when resting and to help you have the pain-free rest that is
crucial to healing. These products include anything from a u-shaped pillow,
and leg separator, to knee and leg wedges and lifts.
Made with a visco elastic memory foam layer, The emory Foam U-Shaped Travel Neck Pillow (which includes a pillow cover) is specially designed to support and stabilize the neck and head while resting, sleeping, or traveling in the car or on long trips or flights on planes. This pillow is ergonomically designed to cradle your neck and relieve pressure, prevent stiffness, and alleviate soreness. The memory foam layer of the pillow responds to the body's temperature through the transfer of body heat, resulting in a pillow surface that is shaped like your body. This pillow is lightweight, easy to roll up, and can easily fit into a carry-on bag or back pack. The U-shaped pillow closes with hook and loop. The pillow comes with a cotton blend cover with fiber filling.

The molded lumbar cushion supports the lumbar and sacral regions of the spinal column while sitting and can be used in a chair or a car.
