How to Choose the Best Post-Operative Shapewear for Recovery?

Shapewear is often used by women who want smoother, slimmer, and more flattering silhouettes. But it’s also necessary for post-operative recovery. Following a number of medical procedures such as Caesarean sections, tummy tucks, and body lift surgeries, shapewear can help the body regain its former shape while speeding up healing.

If you’re confused about which shapewear is best for your post-operative recovery, consider Waistdear’s collection of post surgery shapewear, the ultimate post-surgery solution shapewear. In this article, we offer information on which Waistdear products you can wear for different after-surgery needs.

Benefits of Wearing Shapewear Post Surgery

 Reduce Swelling

Since shapewear or post-op compression garments are tight-fitting, they can help reduce swelling at the site of the surgery. Because these garments are elastic, they provide the right amount of support and compression.

Shapewear also prevents the surgical site from moving every time you stand or lie down, preventing it from stretching out.

Reduces the Risk of Infections

Like a Band-Aid, shapewear shields the skin from harmful elements like germs, dirt, and grime. This works as a barrier and protects the wound while you heal.

Prevents Scarring

More often than not, the site of surgery can form a keloid scar. This occurs when excess scar tissues grow over a healed wound. Compression therapy can help prevent scarring as it softens and hinders scar formations.

Eases Pain and Discomfort

Support from shapewear can relieve pain and discomfort. This is because compression increases circulation, improves blood flow, and promotes healing. However, excess pressure can do more harm than good, so choose wholesale shapewear with the right level of compression.

Improves Posture and Mobility

Shapewear compresses your body and provides support for your abdomen and back. As a result, it will prevent you from slouching. The support provided will also help you move around better, encouraging mobility post-surgery.

That said, wear the garment only after it’s been prescribed by your doctor. A medical practitioner will also determine how long you should wear one based on your needs and medical history. Wearing shapewear for more than the recommended time is not encouraged.

What Is the Best Post-Operative Shapewear for Recovery for You?

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to post-operative care. Some may need high-compression shapewear while others may require low to medium compression. It all boils down to the type of surgery or trauma that your body experienced. Today, there are many types of shapewear that cater to different needs, preferences, and styles like belly belts or belly bands and abdominal binders. 

Here are some post-op shapewear products from Waistdear:
