VOE in Weight Loss and Dermolipectomy: Medical Compression for Your Recovery
VOE in weight loss and dermolipectomy
Significant weight loss, whether through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes, is a major physical and emotional achievement, but it often leaves excess skin and sagging in different areas of the body. For many patients, dermolipectomy (such as abdominoplasty, arm lift, or thigh lift) becomes the next step to redefine their body contour and improve daily comfort.
In this phase, choosing the right medical compression garment makes the difference between a complicated recovery and a more comfortable, controlled process with more harmonious aesthetic results.
Why is compression so important after a dermolipectomy?
After skin resection surgery, tissues need stability, support, and controlled pressure to adapt to their new position. Post-surgical compression therapy is performed using technical garments such as compression garments, bras, sleeves, or pants specifically designed for medical use.
Main benefits of post-surgical compression:
- Reduction of edema and swelling by promoting fluid reabsorption
- Improved blood circulation and tissue oxygenation, accelerating healing
- Reduced risk of seromas, hematomas , and skin surface irregularities
- Greater sense of security, support and comfort in the treated areas
These garments should always be used under medical supervision, adjusting the level of compression, the model and the time of use to the type of surgery and the needs of the patient.
VOE garments: a second skin for the new figure
VOE garments are specifically designed for the post-surgical environment, using elastic, breathable, and multidirectional fabrics that allow for uniform compression without restricting movement. VOE's exclusive Lycra offers a high degree of adaptability to the body, maintaining the necessary pressure to control swelling and promote proper skin adhesion to deeper tissues.
Advantages of VOE garments:
Thanks to their anatomical design and the different patterns (abdominal girdles, bodysuits, long pants, bermuda shorts, bras, sleeves, etc.), VOE garments:
- They fit like a second skin , moving with you without creasing.
- They help to shape and stabilize the body contour after dermolipectomy or weight loss
- They offer an optimal balance between medical compression and everyday comfort
- Manufactured under strict medical quality standards and international certifications
VOE in weight loss: beyond cosmetic surgery
Compression garments aren't just for one-off cosmetic surgeries; they're also highly recommended for patients who have experienced significant weight loss , often following bariatric surgery. In these patients, the skin tends to be more lax, and after a dermolipectomy, proper support is key to protecting the incisions and promoting a more defined contour.
In addition to the immediate postoperative phase, some patients benefit from continuing to use compression garments in later, less intense phases to maintain support in areas prone to sagging and to feel more confident in their new silhouette.
Which VOE garments are suitable for dermolipectomy and weight loss?
Depending on the area treated and the type of intervention, the specialist may recommend different categories of VOE garments:
Abdominoplasty and abdominal dermolipectomy
Abdominal girdles and bodysuits with front or side closure, which surround the abdomen, flanks and even thighs to offer overall support.

Thigh lift or thigh and buttock lift
Compression pants or shorts that cover hips, thighs and, depending on the model, the buttocks area.
Arm lift or brachioplasty
Compression sleeves, combined or not with vests and bras, to stabilize the upper torso.
In all cases, the size selection must be made by taking correct measurements, following the specific VOE instructions and the surgeon's recommendations.
How and for how long to use VOE garments
The duration of use and the specific regimen should always be individualized and defined by the surgeon responsible for the treatment. Generally, after a dermolipectomy, the following is usually recommended:
Phase 1: Intensive compression
Continuous use (day and night) during the first few weeks, to control inflammation and protect tissues.
Phase 2: Maintenance Compression
Subsequently, a transition to second-phase garments, with less compression, until the healing process and stabilization of the body contour are complete.
Important: A correct fit, without folds or areas of excessive pressure, is essential to avoid discomfort or unnecessary marks on the skin and to ensure that the compression is therapeutic, not simply "tight".
