What is post-surgical medical compression?
Post-surgical medical compression in plastic surgery is a technical support that applies uniform and constant pressure to the operated areas to control inflammation, stabilize tissues, and protect the aesthetic and functional results of the surgery.
- It is the use of girdles, bras and specific garments that exert pressure controlled and maintained over the treated area after plastic or reconstructive surgery.
- It is designed to promote lymphatic drainage, reduce edema and fluid accumulation (seromas), minimize bruising, and improve healing.
- These garments are considered a complement to medical treatment and are part of the post-operative protocol.
Why it is key in liposuction and body surgeries
- In liposuction, abdominoplasty, and body contouring surgeries, compression helps the skin and tissues readjust to the new volume, improving skin retraction and defining the contour.
- It significantly reduces swelling and bruising, shortens recovery time, and decreases the risk of fluid collections that can compromise the outcome.
- It provides mechanical stability: it holds the treated tissues, reduces tension on the incisions, and improves comfort when moving, coughing, or getting up.
- Perfect recovery with certified medical compression
Why use VOE compression garments after body surgery?
- Reduces edema/hematomas : Drains post-operative fluids
- Improved skin retraction : Adapts to the new volume
- Medical protocol : 23 hours/day for 3-8 weeks
Exclusive Lycra® 4-way VOE fabric
Multi-elastic that stretches/recovers in 4 directions like a second skin
- VOE's technical fabric, with 4-way multi-elastic Lycra®, stretches and recovers both lengthwise and crosswise, allowing the garment to fit like a "second skin" to the anatomy and movement.
- This 4-way elasticity, along with a high return capacity, allows for precise and stable compression over time, even when the volume of the treated area changes during the de-inflammation process.
- The fabric offers graduated and uniform compression across all treated areas, preventing points of excessive pressure or "loose" areas, which is especially relevant in liposuction, abdominoplasty, and large-area body contouring surgeries.
