Description
Reinforced facial compression chin strap. It supports the chin and the facial contour, with double fabric in the reinforced areas.
What it is for
In the face and neck, oedema is what takes longest to resolve, and it is also what makes the result look worse than it will be during the first few weeks. Compression shortens that phase.
In chin liposuction it also has a shaping role: it keeps the skin of the neck pressed against the deep layer while it readapts, which is what defines the jawline.
The reinforcements are double fabric, and they are what give it real compression: it is firmer than a normal facial band.
It is adjusted with two Velcro straps that fasten on top of the head, so it can be worn day and night without moving.
When to wear it
The usual pattern is to wear it day and night for the first 2 or 3 weeks and then only at night for a few more weeks. This is a guide: what your surgeon tells you is what counts.
What it is like
- Double-fabric reinforcements: more compression.
- Two Velcro straps fastening at the crown of the head.
- Breathable fabric, to wear day and night.
- Three sizes, by neck circumference.
Washing and care
By hand or on a delicate cycle, in cold or lukewarm water with mild soap. No bleach, fabric softener, tumble dryer or radiator: heat destroys the elastic, and a garment without elastic no longer compresses. Dry it flat, in the shade. If you are going to wear it 24 hours a day, it is practical to have two.
Tighter is not better. A garment that leaves deep marks, causes numbness or tingling, or changes the colour of the skin is compressing too much and can do harm. If this happens, loosen it or move to the loosest row of hooks, and let us know.
Not sure which size to order or how long to wear it? Ask us: the garment and the number of weeks are decided by your surgeon, according to the procedure you have had.
