How to wear MAAM compression garments

Information on the use of compression garments

MAAM post-surgical compressive garments are designed to be used in the post-operative recovery stages after plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery interventions such as breast augmentation, reduction mammoplasty, breast reconstruction, gynecomastia, liposuction, abdominoplasty, face and arm procedures, gluteoplasty and others.

MAAM products help post-operative recovery by improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, keeping the implant in the correct position, removing potentially dangerous fluids from the body, accelerating the healing process, thus allowing the patient to return to their daily routine faster. Compressive garments support the post-operative healing process by providing adequate compression and reducing skin tension.

MAAM compressive articles are made of the best quality materials, taking into account the requirements of specialists in the field of plastic and aesthetic surgery. Pleasant to the touch, very light, yet compressive and resistant, these materials allow the skin to breathe, leaving it clean, dry and fresh all day.

The duration of the period of wearing compressive articles is established by the specialist doctor.

In case of edema, rash or itching, seek medical advice immediately.

Instructions for use

Maam compressive articles are specially designed for recovery and comfort, being different and suitable for each post-operative stage (I, II, III).

They also represent an important and necessary part of the recovery process in optimal conditions, following plastic, reconstructive or aesthetic surgery interventions.

The postoperative compressive articles are applied directly to the patient, immediately after the operation, the duration of the wearing period being established by the specialist doctor.

Each person feels the sensation of compression differently. It is essential that the compressive garment fits perfectly, on every shape and size, in order to obtain optimal results. The correct wearing of Maam compressive products helps and accelerates the healing process, prevents excessive accumulation of fluids in the treated areas, supports the lymphatic system and stimulates skin retraction.

For comfort and hygiene, it is recommended that the patient be provided with at least two compression articles.

Compressive bras and vests

Suitable for stage I and stage II of the postoperative stage, bras and compressive vests are used as:

• Put on the compressive article with the front closure system.
• Close the "hook and eye" closure one by one and/or then, where appropriate, close the zipper in the front.
• Start closing the "hook and eye” - type hooks from bottom to top, choosing the most comfortable way for you.
• After adjusting the front closure, adjust the shoulder straps to be even and in the most comfortable position.
• The base of the bra must always be equal on the entire circumference of the body, i.e., the front part must be at the same level as the back part.

Compressive bodysuits - compressive pants and abdominoplasty/gluteoplasty panties

• First open the "hook and eye" closure type hooks, the zippers, then detach the straps (where applicable).
• Attach the product to the body, correctly positioning the opening between the legs, the level of the length of the pants and the sleeves, in the case of products with legs and long sleeves.
• Close the "hook and eye" type hooks one by one, from bottom to top, then close the zipper, if necessary.
• In the case of products with straps, fix the X-shaped straps at the back, then at the front, adjusting them accordingly.

Compressive bands for the face and stabilizing bands

• Position the chin in the center of the compressive band for the face.
• Close the system with the velcro tape located on the back of the neck, but also the velcro tape on the top of the head, as appropriate. Adjust the bar on the back of the head as needed.

Stabilizing elastic band for breasts

It is positioned above the breasts, on the body. It is composed of two types of elastic: flared elastic at the top so as not to embarrass under the arms and wide elastic over the breasts, for stability.

Compressive lace underwear

Suitable for post-operative stage III, the lacy compressive underwear is worn like a normal bra, with the closure positioned at the back. Choose row 1, 2 or 3 of closure, then adjust shoulder straps to match.

Abdominal belts

Position the belt on the abdominal area, with the velcro closure in front. Then close the velcro strips, one by one, starting with the upper part, positioned under the breasts.

Compressive sleeves

Open the two straps located on the front of the sleeves, both the one positioned under the breasts and the one positioned above the breasts. Insert the arms into the sleeves one by one, until the seams positioned under the arms are positioned correctly. Lift the arm slightly and make sure the sleeve is smooth and evenly stretched.
