Description
- 49"-53" hip measurement
- Ordering the appropriately sized garment is important in achieving proper compression for recovery after liposuction or plastic surgical procedures. The STANDARD garment size will be based on your PRE-PROCEDURE measurements, especially since POST-PROCEDURE care may include drains, bandages and pads. If you are BETWEEN sizes, consider the LARGER sized garment.
- In the first few days after surgery, when swelling is at its peak, the compression garment should be snug, firm or tight (but not painful). It will feel less snug as swelling subsides and recovery progresses. The correct fit will provide support and compression to help reduce swelling (edema), aid in pushing fluids into the lymph system for removal from the body and help with proper skin retraction which promotes general body contouring.
- This garment features a 3 inch waistband, double tummy panel in front, reinforced open crotch, full length zippers and Velcro closures on each leg. The skin is protected from the zipper by a full length foam pad. Lace trim is sewn along the bottom of each pant leg to prevent rollup.
- To put on the garment, unzip both zippers to mid-thigh, place your feet into the garment openings and position the lace trim slightly above the knee. Bring the garment up so that the crotch opening and the waist are properly positioned. As you slowly begin to zip up the legs, ensure that the foam is lying flat and is not bunched. It is helpful to have another person's assistance when donning the garment, especially following a recent procedure or surgery
Above the Knee style: These body-hugging liposuction compression pants provide post operative support and compression by helping to minimize swelling and reduce fluid build-up while promoting skin retraction and body contouring. For use following liposuction, thighplasty, abdominoplasty or lower abdomen surgery including a tummy tuck, mommy makeover or surgical procedures around the abdomen, buttocks, flanks, hips, thighs or knees.
