Many people are unfamiliar with the concept of compression wear until they begin preparing for a cosmetic surgery, such as a breast augmentation or liposuction. In such situations, their surgeon will tell them (or they will discover through their own research) that compression garments are necessary for post-surgical recovery. The physical trauma of most plastic surgeries often causes the affected area to swell, bruise, and feel tender, sore, or burning.
Compression wear for sports
