Many surgeons recommend compression garments for their patients' recoveries following plastic surgery.

These specialty garments, better known as plastic surgery recovery garments, help improve blood circulation and reduce swelling during the crucial days and weeks after surgery. Often, compression garments speed up the healing time because they help stabilize sculpted tissue, while aiding the body in ridding itself of harmful fluids.

Compression garments come in all types for every kind of plastic surgery and can be worn comfortably for days, or weeks during the post surgical recovery time.

Some patients will be given compression garments in the hospital, but many are now buying their own compression garments. Garments should only be ordered from a reputable company with a proven track record for the best products and services.

Always order your compression garments at least two weeks ahead of your surgery so that you can get them in time and you will be reassured you will have the correct fit.
