DailyMed Second Stage garments are designed for the intermediate post-op phase, once swelling has decreased and the body requires greater compression and control to support progressive shaping and tissue adaptation.
What are they for?
- Progressive body shaping after the initial phase.
- Medium compression that enhances silhouette definition.
- Structural support for everyday activities.
- A safe transition between post-op wear and aesthetic daily use.

How to choose the size
In Second Stage, sizing may be adjusted slightly compared to First Stage, while always respecting the patient’s current measurements. It is not recommended to force smaller sizes to speed up results.
Clinical benefits

- Improved definition of abdomen, waist, and back.
- Progressive adaptation of scar tissue.
- High demand in clinics and specialized distribution.
When it is NOT recommended
- Immediate post-op period (First Stage).
- Persistent severe swelling.
- Pain, tingling, or changes in skin color.
Discontinue use if any unusual discomfort occurs and consult the treating professional.
