Pre, Trans and Post Plastic Surgery
Post-operative treatments have evolved significantly in recent times.
Specialized physiotherapy will guide your recovery within a comprehensive rehabilitation plan. This plan includes manual lymphatic drainage, a crucial resource, but not the only one you need to maximize your results!

R.Slim® Post-Surgery Protocol
Our Treatment Plans are based on clinical studies.
R.Slim® Compression Garments are used as a Therapeutic Resource for the postoperative period.
Fist Stage
From post-op day 1 to 5, wear the stage 1 garment paired with the 360 Foam Vest underneath. This garment gives stability without excessive constraint and limits edema without compromising microcirculation.
Second Stage
Starting on the post-op Day 6, begin using the Stage 2 Garment, and FlatBump Boards to contour and prevent garment creasing. R.SLIM Compression Garments are used as a Therapeutic Resource for the postoperative period.
360 Foarm Vest
In the first and second stage, the 360° Vest with FlatBump® technology helps reduce swelling, prevent fibrosis, and enhances body contouring for smoother, more defined results.
