As you plan out your plastic surgery,Plastic Surgery - Tips for Buying New Clothes Articles you may have visions of walking into your local mall and going on a shopping spree. You know that whether you have a breast augmentation or liposuction, clothes are going to fit differently now. It can be difficult to postpone that shopping experience, but remember that you want to get the full results of your operation before you start investing money into your wardrobe. Doctor Prescribed Clothing Some types of plastic surgery require patients to wear compression garments for a specific amount of time after the procedure. If your surgeon requires these items, make sure that you have them in advance of the operation. You will probably leave the hospital in one garment but most people want to have at least one of two others to change in and out of. Talk to your doctor about where you can get these items and how many you will need. Also, be sure that you know exactly how long you need to be wearing them. Comfortable Clothing After the plastic surgery, your body is going to need to recover. You will probably have bruising in the area that you had the work done and swelling is usually inevitable. Because of this, you may not be able to squeeze into your favorite pair of jeans or your favorite top. Consider pulling out clothes that will be very comfortable. Any pants should have elastic waist and t-shirts should be stretchy. You don't want anything rubbing against the incision sites. If you are going to be home for a couple of days, there is no reason to get dressed up or make yourself overly presentable. Even if you spend time in your pajamas the entire time, that is okay as long as you are comfortable. The goal is to avoid anything irritating the wounds or causing you to be uncomfortable. Your New Wardrobe It might takes several weeks, but eventually, the swelling from plastic surgery will go down, and you will have a better idea of what your new figure will look like. At this point, it is time to go shopping. Take your time and pick out pieces that you really like. This is a great time to try new things, perhaps items that you felt that you couldn't wear before the operation. Consider choosing pieces that showcase your new look and add to your confidence. While it will not cost as much as the procedure, replacing several things could be expensive. If you cannot afford to replace all of your things at one time, you can purchase enough to get by with and then add to your wardrobe as you get some extra money.
