What are post-surgery compression garments?
LIPOELASTIC® post-surgery compression garments are designed for postoperative treatment following plastic-aesthetic procedures such as liposuction, mammoplasty, augmentation or reconstruction of breasts, abdominoplasty, facelifting, necklifting etc.
Why you should use post-surgery compression garments
Compression garment is an inseparable part of postoperative care . In some cases, not wearing the right post-surgery compression garment can lead to critical consequences. Among these can be a significantly different result of the procedure than that which the patient was counting on.
Another reason in favor of using post-surgery compression garments is that it speeds up the healing process and therefore the client can make a quick return to everyday activities.
2-4 weeks after procedure
100% of patients who use post-surgery garments return back to everyday activities faster than those who do not use the under garments after the surgery.

CERTIFICATION OF MATERIALS
Top-quality materials, custom-made by producers in EU, are used for LIPOELASTIC® garments. All materials are regularly tested at the Textile Testing Institute TZÚ in Brno - Czech Republic.
The key criteria, carefully monitored, are the parameters of longitudinal and cross-section compression of textiles. These tests are carried out in accordance with the methods of the company DuPont, a world-renowned producer of elastic fibers under the Lycra trademark.
These regular tests enable us to guarantee our partners the required compression of garments ranging from 20-30 mmHg. The individual garment types are put on torsos simulating particular body parts and continuously tested using the measuring device MST MK IV from the Swiss producer Swisslastic AG.
These regular tests enable us to guarantee our partners the required compression of garments ranging from 17-22 mmHg. The individual garment types are put on torsos simulating particular body parts and continuously tested using the measuring device MST MK IV from the Swiss producer Swisslastic AG.

Permeability of moisture evaporation
Top-most resistance according to CSN EN 31092 standard is between 2-3 m2Pa/W. LIPOELASTIC® material meets the ideal value 2,57 m2Pa/W
Conveyance and management of perspiration
The value of perspiration conveyance between 800 – 900 g/m2H is first-rate. The results of LIPOELASTIC® materials reach the value 815 g/m2H.
Moisture control
Tests results showed that the moisture control with LIPOELASTIC® material is 85%. This result provides the patient with the feeling of dryness during wear.

2 STEPS FOR THE PERFECT RESULT
OF LIPOSUCTION
Benefits
skin without compression
skin with LIPOELASTIC® compression garment
The final outcome may be significantly influenced by, among other things, improper postoperative care. To help patients achieve the best result and ease post-surgical developments, the company LIPOELASTIC has developed a two-phase program of compression therapy. They are the collections Classic (compression garments designed for the immediate post-operative phase) and Unique (for use during follow-up treatment.)
1st STEP
CLASSIC
- Use immediately after operation
- Recommended wear for 1 - 2 weeks
- Innovation of existing garments collections
- Enriched with nanoparticles of silver: slow the spread of microbes,
- speed up the healing process without odor
The existing collections of compression garments have now been innovated with the collection Classic and enriched with nano-particles of silver. The anti-bacterial properties eliminate the growth of bacteria, the healing process is sped up and there is no unpleasant odor. So during the first two weeks the patient will feel as if they are wrapped in cotton wool (even though, in fact, the materials LIPOELASTIC uses for its garments are far more sophisticated and guarantee constant ductility).
2nd STEP
UNIQUE
- Use during the second step of post-operative therapy
- Recommended wear for 3 - 6 weeks following the first step
- Adjustable compression via special three-row of hooks fastening, enables adjustment of bandage size after swelling subsides
- Perforated 3D material maintains microclimate
- High-comfort for long-term wear and putting on
Unique compression garments come in the next phase of therapy. This phase is less painful. Special fastening allows the patient to adjust the level of compression to his or her comfort. Perforated 3D material maintains a constant microclimate and makes putting the garments on and wearing them much more comfortable. You will certainly appreciate this because, in some cases, you will have to wear these garments for up to six weeks.

FAQ – the frequently asked questions
Why should I choose compression garments from LIPOELASTIC?
LIPOELASTIC has been successfully producing post-surgery compression garments since 2002. Our products are made from certified materials and meet all the requirements of compression therapy. We continuously develop new products based on feedback from physicians and patients. We would not be counted amongst the absolute topmost producers in this field world-wide without satisfied customers.
Why do I need compression garments after the surgery?
Compression therapy is one of the oldest postoperative methods in general; and most physicians use its benefits even now. Compression garments minimize the occurrence of swelling, bruises and scars. Also, their positive effect on blood circulation has been proven. Moreover, compression reduces the risk of infection and pain. Compression garments are important to shape contours and stabilize the implants after plastic surgery.
Why should I buy 2 pieces of compression garments?
Compression garments in general speed up the healing process. If you do not use any garments, the convalescence may not only take much longer, but the result of the surgery may not be as you had expected it. In every phase of the convalescence process the body reacts and looks differently. That is the reason why LIPOELASTIC has developed this 2-step program for maximum healing efficiency and the best result of the surgery. We guarantee a speedy return to everyday activities without side effects (smooth and even skin after liposuction, no breast asymmetry etc.).
How can I choose the right size?
Your physician should assist you in choosing the right garments. In some cases he or she can refer you directly to the company LIPOELASTIC. It is all right, we will be happy to advise you. In order to provide you with a qualified answer, we will need to know some information about the surgery which you have undergone or which you are planning to undergo. We will be mostly interested in which part of your body will be treated and the size change.
