ABSTRACT:
A post surgery device and method includes a pair of pressure pads and a harness that extends around the back of a patient's head to retain the pressure pads against the naso-labial region of the patient's face following a lipo-suction procedure to reduce naso-labial folds. A metal wire extends past the nose of the patient between the pair of pressure pads to complete a peripheral force loop to maintain sufficient inward force upon the pressure pads to compress the skin tissue against the subdermal muscle tissue to inhibit separation and swelling while healing proceeds. For a typical patient, the device is worn continuously for about two days following surgery and then for about four days thereafter with occasional interruptions being permitted.
