Following surgery, your doctor will ask you to wear a compression garment. Surgical
compression garments help loose skin mold firmly against the body, and is more likely to heal
without sagging. Surgical compression garments squeezes the body's
fluids back toward deeper tissues, reducing edema (swelling) in the affected areas. And
using compression garments after surgery improves blood circulation, minimizes swelling after
the procedure, flushes the body out of harmful fluids, expedites the healing process, and allows
the patient to recover sooner.
