Why I need to use compression garments after surgery?

Why do you need to use compression garments after surgery? The answer lies in understanding the body's healing process. After any surgical procedure, the body responds with inflammation, fluid retention, and tissue remodeling.

Compression garments address all of these by: reducing swelling through consistent external pressure, preventing fluid accumulation (seroma), supporting tissues as they heal in their new position, improving blood circulation to the surgical area, and reducing the risk of blood clots. Medical professionals recommend wearing compression garments for 4-8 weeks after surgery, depending on the procedure.
