By applying uniform pressure to the area, these binders improve circulation, leading to faster healing and reduced bruising.
They are recommended for procedures like:

Available in different heights and lengths, these girdles vary from full-body jumpsuits to shorts, all designed to keep your skin, organs, and tissues in place during your recovery.
Post-surgical girdles offer varying levels of compression based on your recovery stage. They feature a high waistline for optimal support and compression around your waist and belly.

Other Post-Surgical Garments and Aids: Enhancing Your Healing
In addition to the aforementioned garments, specialized post-surgical aids can enhance your healing process.
Silicone Scar Sheets:
These sheets are effective in treating scars after surgeries, promoting skin healing, and reducing scarring.
You can also use them on existing scars that require further improvement.
Consult your doctor to determine if silicone scar sheets are suitable for your recovery.

If you undergo cosmetic surgery, you might require lipo foam during your recovery.
Placed under your compression garment, lipo foam provides smooth compression over the treated area, aids uniform healing, and reduces bruising and swelling.
