|
Do you suffer from lipedema? Do you plan a suction-assisted lipectomy? LIPOELASTIC® in cooperation with German's and UK lipedema experts have developed a special compression garment to help with the symptoms and pain of LIPEDEMA and to aid recovery following Liposuction to the affected areas. Our TBf Variant garment, ensures optimum comfort for Lipedema patients and reduces downtime, following surgery; assisting with the forming of body contours, whilst reducing pain and bruising. |
These specially designed compression pants are also suitable for patients who have undergone liposuction due to lymphatic problems in the lower limbs. The big advantage is not just their modified cut, which takes into account various different parameters, but also the specially modified hems at the top and base of the legs. Thanks to this strategically designed compression, the garment prevents unnecessary pressure on the ankle and is a very comfortable companion not only during the postoperative phase, but for is also perfect for layering and everyday wear.

Certificates of quality assurance
CLASSIC material
CLASSIC material is our main material used for most products in LIPOEALSTIC® collection. Its patented and clinically tested technology has been proven by specialists for more than 15 years. Thanks to its fibre, CLASSIC material has stable and precise compression which is generally considered as the most important parameter for compression bandages. We use elastic microfiber that wicks the moisture away from the skin and ensures pleasant cooling effect. During the recovery period after surgery the body naturally heats up, so the cool feeling is very pleasant for patients. Material CLASSIC is durable and resistant to regular wear and tear throughout the daily use. It’s also very soft to touch and provides you with a comfortable feeling every day after your surgery.
SECOND SKIN material
We decided to add a new SECOND SKIN material to our portfolio due to its perfect features. This material is primarily intended for the Shapewear collection but it is also suitable for compression garments. Due to its natural stretch, it follows the muscles and movements in every direction, which gives you a feeling of a “second skin“. The main benefits are high resistance and high breathability, and the structure of the material offers an ultra-fast drying effect so you can feel dry almost immediately, which provides comfort while sweating.
