After an aesthetic surgical procedure, where muscle tissue may swell due to fluid and blood retention, it is essential to use compression garments to prevent swelling and speed up the healing process, thereby achieving the best possible results.
The use of compression garments after plastic surgery is especially effective, as proper use of a breathable, well-designed compression bandage reduces tissue tension. Wounds/scars will remain consistently compressed, helping them stay flat, while the skin will appear smooth and even.
