After an aesthetic surgical procedure, where swelling of the muscle tissue may occur due to tissue fluids and blood, it is essential to use compression garments to prevent swelling and accelerate the healing process, thereby achieving the best possible results.
The use of compression garments after plastic surgeries is particularly effective, as proper application of an airy, well-made compression bandage can reduce tissue tension. Wounds/scars will remain consistently compressed, keeping them flat, while the skin will appear smooth and even.
