Tips for choosing a sleeve after surgery
Are you about to undergo arm lift surgery or arm liposuction? Here are all the tips on how to choose the right sleeve after surgery.
You are soon going to have an arm lift or arm liposuction surgery, and thus enjoy a more toned appearance. Any cosmetic surgery is complex, and in order for you to successfully and safely go through the recovery period after surgery, it is highly recommended that you wear a sleeve after surgery. This is a medical garment that aims to create optimal pressure on the arm area, thus encouraging blood flow and reducing common post-operative pain. In addition, the compression sleeve stabilizes the contour of the skin in the arms, thus preventing skin deformation and preserving the results of the surgery.
There is a wide variety of post-surgery braces available, from different companies and manufacturers. This vast supply can be confusing and make us feel lost. So to help you sort things out, here are some things to consider when choosing one. Postoperative sleeve:
comfort
You will need to wear the sleeve 24 hours a day for a period of several weeks. Therefore, it is very important to choose a sleeve that will give you maximum comfort. At MEDSHAPE, you can find a sleeve with a unique closure – each sleeve is worn separately and both sleeves are closed at the back with hooks. This closure is very comfortable and allows you to wear the sleeve easily throughout the day and night.
Applying optimal pressure
As mentioned, the purpose of the sleeve is to apply pressure to preserve the results of the surgery and reduce pain. It is important to make sure that the sleeve you purchase does provide such pressure, but at the same time that it does not put pressure on the stitches after surgery.
Fabric composition
It is important to choose a post-surgery sleeve made of hypoallergenic fabric. At MEDSHAPE, we offer a sleeve made of Naturexx fabric, which is a hypoallergenic fabric that prevents the development of bacteria, irritation, and infections on the skin. In addition, it is a breathable, sweat-wicking, and pleasant to the touch fabric. You can wash this fabric very easily by hand, and the sleeve will maintain its shape even after multiple washes.
Recommendations
It is important to check Recommendations about the sleeve before purchasing. Conduct research on the manufacturer and check whether there are opinions about the compression garments they produce online. It is worth joining Facebook groups dealing with cosmetic surgery and asking for recommendations for sleeves intended for wearing after surgery. In addition, ask your aesthetic doctor to recommend a suitable sleeve for you. You will be happy to know that our sleeve is recommended by the best leading aesthetic doctors in Israel and around the world.
