Waistdear Body Shapewear Differnece: Post Op 1 & Post Op 2 Shapewear

Followings are the difference between post op 1 & post op 2 shapewear.

Maybe you are curious at how long to wear Post Op 1 Shapewear or when to start to Post Op 2 Shapewear after surgury.

• Post op 1 shapewear needs to be worn right after plastic surgery for at least 6 weeks.

• After 6 weeks, wear Post op 2 shapewear to continue shaping and contouring the body, or wear it as shapewear.
• Post op 1 shapewear has a thicker material and more compression.
• Post op 2 shapewear has a softer fabric and shorter length on the legs.

How Do Post Op 1 & Post Op 2 Shapewear Work?

Let's take for example Post op 1 shapewear. These are the shapewear that your doctor orders wearing right after surgery. This high-compression garment will allow your wounds to heal, keeping your results intact, and reduce the likelihood of bruising, fluid retention, and bad shaping post-op.

So if you got a liposuction, BBL, or tummy-tuck, wearing a shapewear for 6 weeks would protect and sculpt your midsection, hips, and buttocks area. As for Post op 2 shapewear, you can wear it 6-weeks post-op if you still want something to help sculpt and shape your body after Stage 1.

A Post op 2 shapewear is a custom product that can double up as a waist trainer. This shapewear helps with sculpting the waist, hips, and midsection further, but in a much less strict way. The emphasis with Post op 2 is light sculpting and a lot of shaping. We often recommend to our dolls that they can use Post op 2 Shapewear as regular shapewear.

Picking out the right stage of shapewear is an important step. And it's important to stop and consider that Post op 1 shapewear is a medical necessity for those that just had their BBL, lipo, or tummy-tuck to help them heal during a crucial time.
