What is the difference between a compression top for shapewear and one for post-surgical recovery?
Compression tops for shapewear are designed primarily for body contouring, using firm compression to create a sleeker silhouette under clothing. Post-surgical compression wear, by contrast, is medical-grade and engineered to support healing—these tops provide consistent, graduated compression to reduce swelling, minimize fluid buildup, and support incisions. Post-surgical compression garments often feature front closures for easy application and softer fabrics. Shapewear focuses on appearance, while post-surgical garments prioritize therapeutic healing.
How do I choose the right level of compression in a top?
Choosing the right compression level depends on your goal. For everyday shapewear, firm or high compression provides smoothing without being restrictive. For post-surgical recovery, your surgeon will typically prescribe a specific compression level; these tops often provide firm to extra-firm compression to control swelling. Our range of men's compression tops and women's compression tops includes various levels, and we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider for medical applications or choosing based on comfort for shapewear use.
Can compression tops help improve posture?
Yes, many compression tops can help improve posture by providing gentle support to the back and core muscles, encouraging proper spinal alignment. Firm compression shapewear with back panels helps remind your body to maintain an upright position, reducing slouching and associated back strain. While they aren't a substitute for dedicated posture correctors, the supportive compression can complement your efforts to maintain better posture. Women's compression tops from Leonisa often incorporate features that support the upper back and shoulders.
How should a compression top fit to be effective?
A compression top should fit snugly against your body without causing pain or restricting breathing. The garment should feel firm and supportive, but it shouldn't be so tight that it's difficult to put on. For post-surgical compression wear, the fit should be close to the skin to provide consistent pressure. If you experience numbness, tingling, or severe discomfort, the top is too tight—proper sizing is essential, so consult the brand's sizing charts before ordering.
Are there compression tops designed for specific procedures?
Absolutely—specialized post-surgical compression tops are designed for a variety of procedures. For women, options include garments for mastectomy, breast augmentation, and breast reduction recovery. For men, compression vests support healing after gynecomastia surgery or chest procedures. These medical-grade tops feature procedure-specific designs, such as front-closure compression bras for women or fitted compression vests for men. We recommend consulting with your surgeon about the specific type of post-surgical wear they recommend.
