Abstract
A post-surgery, high-back, compression garment is described for post-operatively immobilizing surgically corrected tissues to ensure proper healing and provide molded gluteal-shaping power-net domes that preserve desired anatomic curvature enhancements and corrections in the gluteal regions of the human body during convalescence following contouring gluteoplasty procedures.

- d) a central back elastic seam joining:
- (i) the back torso section edges of the left and right torso sections of the outer elastic power-net fabric panels together and;
- (ii) adjacent edges of the left and right molded, gluteal-shaping, elastic power-net fabric domes below the left and right torso sections together extending to the bottom cutouts of the respective domes for the crotch opening;
- e) elastic thigh seams respectively joining the front and back thigh section edges of the left and of the right thigh sections forming left and right thigh compression sleeves, and an elliptically shaped crotch opening in cooperation with the bottom crotch cutouts of the left and right molded, gluteal-shaping, elastic power-net fabric domes;
- f) reinforced elastic edge seams secured around bottom end edges of the formed left and right thigh compression sleeves;
- g) a reinforcing, folded elastic fabric strip secured by a zigzag stitch seam around the elliptically shaped crotch opening;
- h) a central front, elastic faggot stitch seam joining the front torso section edges of the left and right torso sections together forming a torso sleeve having an open top with left and right underarm reliefs between front and back shoulder-strap anchor tabs, an scalloped back collar and a front elastic inframammary top for compressing the torso, tummy and thighs of a human being, in combination with joined symmetrical, left and right molded, gluteal-shaping, elastic power-net fabric domes;
- and
- i) a reinforced elastic edge seam around the open top of the formed torso sleeve.

- b) symmetrical (left and right) molded, gluteal-shaping, elastic power-net fabric domes each having a bottom cut-out for a crotch opening;
- c) elastic seams respectively joining edges of the symmetrical (left and right molded), gluteal-shaping, elastic power-net fabric domes to corresponding edges of left and right back gluteal cutouts of the symmetrical (left and right) outer elastic power-net fabric panels;
- d) a central back elastic seam joining:
- (i) the back torso section edges of the left and right torso sections of the outer elastic power-net fabric panels together and;
- (ii) adjacent edges of the left and right molded, gluteal-shaping, elastic power-net fabric domes together below the left and right torso gluteal cutout locations extending to the bottom cutouts of the domes for the open crotch;
- e) elastic thigh seams respectively joining the front and back thigh section edges of the left thigh section and of the right thigh section forming left and right thigh compression sleeves, and an elliptically shaped crotch opening in cooperation with the bottom cutouts of the left and right molded, gluteal-shaping, elastic power-net fabric domes;
- f) reinforced elastic edge seams around bottom edges of the formed left and right thigh compression sleeves;
- g) a folded reinforcing, elastic fabric strip lining secured by a zigzag stitch seam around the elliptically shaped crotch opening
- h) means for releasable fastening the front torso section edges of the left and right torso sections of the outer elastic power-net fabric panels together to form an opening torso sleeve with open top with torso left and right torso sections that can be opened and closed between an established front inframammary top to a fastener base above the crotch opening of the garment;
- i) a central front elastic seam joining the front torso section edges of the left and right torso sections together between the fastener base and the crotch opening;
- and
- j) a reinforced elastic edge seam secured along the open top of the opening torso sleeve, for providing left and right underarm, elastic seamed reliefs between front and back shoulder-strap anchor tabs, an elastic seamed, scalloped back collar and a front elastic inframammary chest seam for compressing the torso, tummy and thighs of a human being, in combination with the joined symmetrical, left and right molded, gluteal-shaping, elastic power-net fabric domes.
In a post surgery medical compression garment designed for applying compressive forces around a torso, buttocks, and thighs of a human being including a constructed, elastic, open top, power-net fabric torso sleeve encircling the human torso below an inframammary top with upper and lower back power-net compression sections, front abdominal and pubic power-net compression sections, left and right flank power-net compression sections and having bottom elastic, power-net, fabric thigh sleeves encircling the thighs below a front section of a crotch opening at the base of the torso sleeve, an improved buttocks contouring section comprising, in combination therewith:
- a) symmetrical (left and right) molded power-net elastic fabric domes each with a bottom crotch opening cut-out, and having permanent, heat set, power-net, elastic cells that uniformly expand in circumferences toward the top of the dome for establishing a pressure gradient in underlying gluteal tissues that decreases toward the top of the dome;
- b) elastic seams securing the respective left and right molded, elastic power-net fabric domes in the buttocks contouring section of the garment, below the low back power-net compression sections, down the respective left and right flank power-net compression sections, and above tops of the respective left and right thigh sleeves to the front section of the crotch opening at the base of the torso sleeve;
- c) a central elastic seam securing adjacent edges of the symmetrical (left and right) molded, gluteal-shaping, elastic power-net fabric domes together between the lower back power-net compression sections of the torso sleeve and the respective crotch opening cutouts of the molded, gluteal-shaping, elastic power-net fabric domes;
- and
- d) a folded reinforcing, elastic fabric strip lining secured by an elastic seam around an elliptically shaped crotch opening formed by the front section of a crotch opening at the base of the torso sleeve and the respective left and right bottom crotch opening cutouts of the molded elastic power-net fabric domes.
