Fat transfer to buttocks girdle- Above/Below knee

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) or 'fat-transfer to buttocks' is one of the fastest growing cosmetic surgery procedures, and it’s easy to see why. Transferring your own body fat to your buttocks creates a more shapely rear while also having the benefit of looking more natural. There is also the benefit of removing fat from an area where you don’t want it, and relocating it to an area where you do!

In response to the increased popularity of this type of surgery, RECOVA® Post-Surgery has worked very closely with some of the top plastic surgeons in the UK, and in conjunction with the leading European manufacturer of compression garments, VOE, we have created an exceptional girdle, the 'Universal fat transfer girdle', designed for recovery from surgery involving fat transfer to the buttocks. These girdles are made from two types of elastic fabric: the interior double skinned fabric covers the liposuction areas for a firm compression, and the exterior fabric is very thin and elastic for minimal pressure on the buttock area.

This design is ideal for recovery from fat transfer procedures, since it delivers secure compression in the areas where it is needed while providing very gentle support over the buttocks to promote healing and optimum results. These garments can also be used for procedures involving liposuction from the abdomen, thighs and back, so they are highly adaptable and somewhat universal as a post-surgery girdle.

RECOVA® now stocks a variety of different girdles utilising this latest fabric technology, with ‘above knee’ and ‘below knee’ styles and those that have an extended back. These girdles come in beige and black colours and, as you would expect from RECOVA®, they are exceptionally comfortable, soft and smooth against the skin and durable over long periods of wear and many washes. Indeed, many patients who buy our girdles find that they are also ideal for use as slimming garments, and they continue to wear them way beyond their recovery from surgery. 

Key Features:

• Three front rows of hook-and-eye fastenings
• Open crotch for ease of going to the toilet (enables use of own underwear)
• Adjustable and comfortable shoulder straps. 
• Double skinned on main body and lighter fabric on buttocks area
• Flat seams for added comfort and discretion

Target Procedures: Fat transfer to buttocks, upper & lower abdomen, flanks and thigh liposuctions

Sizing tips for women

Because of the swelling that occurs after a BBL, we recommend to move at least two sizes up from your hip measurement on the sizing chart. If in doubt, please contact us on info@recovapostsurgery.com In some cases, it is best to order two different sizes so you can try them on at home and choose which is best for you. The garment should feel quite snug, but with added space on the buttocks area, they should also be comfortable prior to surgery.

• Medical grade compression garments recommended by top plastic surgeons
• Powerful 4-way stretch LYCRA® and soft polyamide microfibre
•  Made using ultra soft and breathable fabrics
• Durable construction for continuous wear over long periods
• Designed with flat seams for added comfort and discretion 
• Adjustable with three front or side-mounted fastenings to allow for swelling
• Hypoallergenic. (Free of any allergens including latex and formaldehyde)   

IMPORTANT TIP - Wear & Wash Routine: Due to the need to wear compression garments continuously for long periods of time, it is recommended that at least two garments are purchased. This will allow one to be washed and air-dried while the other is being worn. That way, you will always have a fresh garment to change into.

Sizing: Ensuring a good fit of your compression garment is essential, so we recommend that you try your garment on when you receive it, prior to surgery. Check that it provides the required compression while remaining comfortable. It is important to do this well in advance of your procedure to allow time for exchanges if needed. Please note that we cannot accept returns of garments that have been used post-surgery.

Garment Care: RECOVA's compression garments can be machine or hand-washed at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Do not use fabric conditioner as it may impair the performance of the fabric. Garments must be air dried to maintain their correct fit and strength of compression. Do not tumble dry, iron or dry clean compression garments, as this can damage the fabric. In the initial days after surgery it is possible that garments become stained. However, it is important not to treat garments with bleach as this will damage the fabric.

Main Functions of Post-Surgery Compression Garments: 
To provide sustained pressure and support to aid recovery;
To improve comfort, control pain and reduce swelling (oedema);
To improve body contouring and skin retraction (i.e. minimise sagging);
To promote effective blood circulation in the affected area;
To help your body flush out fluids and any potentially harmful toxins;
To minimise the risk of complications (e.g. infection or thrombosis)
