Demystifying Medical Grade Compression Garments and Shapewear

Medical Grade Compression Garments and Shapewear can be found in almost any department store and all over the Internet. But what differentiates a good Shapewear Garment from a mediocre one, and which Compression Garments are really “Medical Grade”?

It’s really all about your expectations. If you are planning on going out to a fancy dinner or event, and want to flaunt your cute tight black sexy dress, while hiding some unevenness and cellulite parts of your body to achieve a sleeker silhouette, then a mediocre Shapewear Garment will do. It will last you through the night, and maybe you can wear it a few more times thereafter, but eventually it will lose its compression strength, and become useless to you. Also, after  few washes, it will most likely become more and more flimsy.  

• Shapewear Garments are meant to be worn under your clothes to give your body a more flattering shape. The stitching should be on the inside, so it cannot be seen through your clothes
• Medical Grade Compression Garments are crucial for your healthy and speedy Post-Op Recovery, and need to be worn after your Plastic Surgery during your Three Post-Op Stages for at least three months, give or take a few weeks, depending on how you convalesce, while offering up the following benefits:

• Provide you with a protected, safe, and comfortable feeling
• Reduce swelling and pain
• Prevent excessive fluid build up
• Promote faster healing
• Prevent a wrinkled appearance after surgery
• Promote an even and flat shape and silhouette, with the least unwanted fat bumps, balls, and ripples
