Sizing tips for women

Hips are the most important measurement on the sizing chart. If you are in-between sizes on the hip, please opt for the larger size. The waist area of the garment can expand one to two sizes up. 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 garments should feel quite snug, but 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)
