Compression Arm Garments from ContourMD
When preparing for arm lift surgery (also known as brachioplasty), you’ll want to consider what you need to have on hand for your recovery. For example, following arm lift surgery, your doctor may instruct you to wear an arm lift compression garment. These post-surgery support garments improve circulation, reduce swelling, and decrease plastic surgery recovery time. They also help the new skin form to your body’s contours.
The key to choosing an arm lift compression garment is to find something that provides adequate support, yet is also comfortable. Options include long-sleeve compression vests or short-sleeve compression vests.
Although short-sleeve compression garments may be more comfortable, particularly during the summer months, it’s a good idea to ask your plastic surgeon which type of garment is best for you. Plastic surgery recovery garments are typically worn continuously for several weeks, so you should purchase more than one.
