After an aesthetic or reconstructive procedure, compression is recommended to accelerate recovery and ensure optimal results. For more information, click here to learn how medical compression garments assist in postsurgical healing.

A garment that feels like athletic wear, yoga wear, or a lingerie shaper will not provide the level of constant and sustained compression or support required after a surgical procedure. A compression garment is a medical garment with a specific purpose, to encourage the healing and recovery process after a reconstructive or aesthetic procedure, and help the skin conform to its new contours. For more information, click here to review the essential features a medical compression garment must have to provide proper compression and optimal comfort.

Physicians who recommend compression garments vary in their opinions regarding the length of time a patient should wear a garment. However, on average, the recommended duration is from three weeks to three months. During the first three to four weeks, a compression garment should be worn at all times and only removed to shower or bathe.

We always recommend you have two garments. In the weeks following an aesthetic or reconstructive procedure, a non-zippered compression garment commonly referred to as a Second Stage garment should be worn.  Since the body is now accumulating less fluid, a Second Stage garment is worn for less time during each 24-hour period.  Furthermore, a Second Stage garment, due to the insertion of additional inner compression panels, provides greater compression to ensure proper skin retraction and tissue adherence.

Our product sizes are not based upon standard clothing sizes. To find your correct size, you must measure your body. For a detailed explanation on how and where to measure for the product you’ve selected, please see our comprehensive size charts for Medical Compression products. Please note: Although you will be smaller after your liposuction procedure, we recommend you base your product size selection on your preoperative measurements. Postsurgical swelling will cause your body to remain at your preoperative size immediately after your surgery. As the swelling subsides, you can transition into a non-zippered garment that will mold and shape tissue into to the new contours of your body.

Our garment specialists are available Monday through Friday, 6:30 AM – 5:30 PM to walk you through body measuring and answer your sizing questions. Please call 800.442.5800.

Occasionally, patients with unique body types have a difficult time finding compression garments that provide a proper fit and accurate compression. When faced with body measurements outside a standard size chart, a patient can opt for a custom made compression garment. A genuine custom garment is made from a pattern crafted using a patient’s unique measurements taken within the surgical area associated with the patient’s specific procedure. Although many companies offer custom garment services and alterations, only a few can construct a custom garment based on a patient’s unique measurements. Design Veronique is currently the only company that can construct a genuine custom garment within 48 hours.

If you are going to apply your product at home, we recommend that someone assist you. Please make sure to completely dry your body before putting on your product. All products are designed for ease of application and a snug fit to ensure proper compression.

Zippered Body Products-

If the zipper catches on the product, please do not attempt to force the zipper in any direction. Please remove the product and gently work the zipper until it moves freely again.

Unzip all zippers completely. If your product has detachable shoulder straps, unhook the front closure. Assume a seated position. Place your feet into the product leg openings. Depending on the product length, position the bottom hemline properly at your ankles, knees, or thighs.

Remaining seated, gently position the garment into place around your hips and crotch and pull onto your upper body. Stand up slowly and pull the garment fully into place, making sure the crotch opening is correctly positioned.

If you do not feel comfortable standing up, please lie on your back to apply the garment. If the garment has shoulder straps, they can be positioned and fastened now.

Next, fasten the hook and eye closures on one side of the garment and then slowly pull the zipper closed. When one side of the garment has been zipped closed, repeat these steps on the other side.

Non-Zippered Body Products-

If your product has detachable shoulder straps, unhook the front closure. Assume a seated position. Place your feet into the product leg openings. Depending on the product length, position the bottom hemline properly at your ankles, knees, or thighs.

Remaining seated, gently position the garment into place around your hips and crotch.

Stand up slowly and pull the garment fully into place, making sure the crotch opening is correctly positioned.

Facial Bands-

Please stand in front of a mirror when putting on any of the facial bands. Watching yourself in the mirror will help you as you position the facial band around your face, head, or neck.

Lay the facial band on a flat surface with the Velcro strip face up. Pick up the band by placing your hands at the ends of the band. Position the middle of the facial band underneath the chin while extending the ends of the band up over your head. The side of the band without Velcro should be placed against the crown of the head first. Next, place the side of the band with the Velcro over the top of your head, making sure the Velcro strip is flat and secure. You can then position the two smaller straps on the front and back of the head to hold the facial band in place. Please note: If you are using the 210-N, the strap that goes around the head should be positioned first.

Bras-

The hook & eye closures found on the back of the bra (if applicable) should be fastened on the middle row. The front hook & eye closures (if applicable) should be separated and the shoulder straps loosened.

Slide your arms through the opening between the shoulder strap and bra, but do not tighten the shoulder straps. Close the front hook & eye adjustment, starting at the bottom closure and working up. Adjust the shoulder straps to the desired comfort.

If the bra is too tight or loose, take the bra off by separating the front hook & eye closures and adjust the back hook & eye closure to loosen or tighten the fit. Please repeat the above steps to put the bra back on.

Please note: If you are using style #4510, the adjustable breast band should be fastened once the bra has been put on.

No. Our proprietary blend of PowerNet fabric is 100% latex and rubber free, assuring that there is no risk of deadly allergic reactions. Plus, we have taken additional steps to keep our garments hypoallergenic by rejecting fabric that contains formaldehyde.

Since a compression garment must be worn constantly, it is imperative that the garment accommodate body elimination. Therefore, a reinforced, anatomically correct open crotch is essential to a compression garment. The opening should be properly constructed and solidly reinforced to avoid tearing the garment while using the facilities. Furthermore, because accumulated fluid will naturally flow downward due to gravity, the garment opening should be small enough to offer some compressive support to the pubic bone to reduce the possibility of edema in the genitals.

After your baby arrives, you will notice some changes, both physical and emotional. It took your body months to prepare to give birth, and it takes time to recover. If you’ve had a cesarean section, it can take even longer. You will get greater satisfaction out of being a mom and it will be much easier if you care for yourself and your new baby.

Physically, you might experience, breast size fluctuation, abdominal separation, back pain, poor posture, spine misalignment, incision pain, and weight retention.

While abdominal binders and belly wraps are adjustable, easy to apply and offer accessibility to incision sites, they are also inflexible, provide only horizontal support, restricts airflow, have limited coverage, inconsistent support and may irritate the skin.

A Maternity Support Garment provides support from all angles, provides stability in movement, full coverage, flexible fit, soft, breathable fabric, non-irritating, body contouring, and undetectable under clothing.

Provides targeted support to assist in organ and spine repositioning, and cesarean incision healing without applying undo pressure on vital organs or ligaments.

Regular bras lack proper support for a pregnant or nursing woman. During pregnancy, your breast will not only change size and shape regularly, but at times, they can be sore. A good pregnancy or nursing bra can provide some relief for you. Design Veronique Maternity Bras adjust with your body for a personalized fit, self-adjusting cups sizes accommodate breast size fluctuations, provide wireless support for healthy nursing, have convenient nursing options, light support options for restful sleep, are breathable and hypoallergenic, latex and formaldehyde free.

Our product sizes are not based upon standard clothing sizes. To find your correct size, you must measure your body.

Our garment specialists are available Monday through Friday, 6:30 AM – 5:00 PM Pacific Standard Time, to walk you through body measuring and answer your sizing questions. Please call 800.442.5800.

What if my measurements do not fit within the size charts? Do you make custom garments?
