Immediately following a plastic surgery procedure your doctor may instruct you to wear a compression garment designed specifically for your procedure.  There are garments for all procedures including breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast reconstruction, mastectomy, liposuction, facial surgery, tummy tucks, arm lifts and many others.  How long you wear this garment largely depends on the preference of your doctor but the initial garment is usually worn for several weeks.  After this time you may still require the use of a compression garment and you may want to consider a second stage garments.   

Silhouette second stage compression garments help ease the patient through the recovery process while helping achieve the best results possible.  Like all of our other Silhouette compression garments our second stage garments are designed to help improve and increase blood circulation, rid the body of potentially harmful fluids, decrease the post surgery recovery time and reduce swelling.  These garments will also help the new skin fit the body’s contours allowing the patient to recover faster.  We carry second stage garments in varying lengths and styles including mid-thigh, mid-calf, and ankle.   

In choosing a garment we realize you have several options, which is precisely why all of our garments are designed with your ultimate comfort in mind.  Our fabric has been chosen specifically not to irritate sensitive skin resulting from surgery, but still provides you with the essential support and compression to help achieve your best results. 

At your doctors instruction you will slowly be allowed to stop wearing your garment.  At least initially the garment will be worn for long continuous periods of time.  This duration combined with drainage resulting from your incisions will take a toll on the garment, because of this damage to the garment it is recommended that two garments be purchased.
