  BRAND NEW ‘BRAZILIAN BUTT-LIFT’ COMPRESSION GARMENTS FROM RECOVA ® We can’t say we’re greatly surprised by the enduring popularity of the Brazilian butt lift. This sought-after cosmetic surgery procedure entails fat from elsewhere on the patient’s body being transferred to the buttocks, in order to create a shapelier rear. There’s a clear ‘double benefit’ to the Brazilian butt lift (beyond the ‘two cheeks’ you might think we’re referring to); not only does it enable you to remove fat from an area of your body where you don’t want it, but it also allows you to relocate it to an area where you would like to have a bit more fat! The fat-transfer-to-buttocks girdles that help ensure a better and more comfortable recovery  Some years ago, when we first noticed that demand was rising quickly for this type of surgery, our team at RECOVA decided to partner with some of the UK’s leading plastic surgeons, as well as the highly trusted European compression garments manufacturer...

Breast augmentation – the term used for surgery that enlarges the breasts – remains a hugely popular type of cosmetic procedure. However, it is partly for this very reason that you will need to take great care in selecting a shape and size of breast implants that will suit your needs and desires, including in relation to ensuring a trouble-free recovery process.  One of the most important things to note is that it can be extremely difficult to decide on the most appropriate size and shape of breast implants on your own – and we would advise you against doing so.  Instead, it is a good idea to discuss with your surgeon what your wishes and expectations are, and they will be able to provide their own suggestions and advice, based on their professional expertise and experience.  Of course, a blog post from ourselves here at RECOVA cannot substitute for tailored advice from your chosen surgeon. Nonetheless, for when you do have that conversation with your surgeon, the follow...

Here are a few suggestions.  Place too much emphasis on what’s on the Internet  Yes, we recognise the irony of this one. But what we’re really saying with this one, is that you shouldn’t be treating information you might find on the Internet about the specifics of cosmetic surgery, as a substitute for whatever instructions your cosmetic surgeon might give.  The reality is that it is your own surgeon who will know your own medical history and the specific details of your procedure. So, you should turn to them first if you have any queries about your recovery, and place the biggest emphasis on their ...
