Pectus or chest wall deformity refers to a relatively common condition where the chest appears irregularly shaped. There are two main types of deformity: Pectus Excavatum (Sunken chest) and Pectus Carinatum (Pigeon chest) but there are many more complex types or ‘mixed’ pectus deformities as well as other chest wall problems both congenital (born with) and acquired (caused by for example trauma or previous chest surgery). Pectus deformities are common with pectus excavatum affecting roughly 1 out of 400 children and pectus carinatum occurring in approximately 1 out of 1500 children. In both types, boys are affected more commonly than girls.
Unfortunately in todays cash strapped NHS, the correction and treatment for pectus deformities, are limited to those with impaired lung functions only. There are treatments available and certainly for young patients, Pectus Carinatum can be treated with a “brace” to reposition the chest defect with a non-surgical treatment. More information on pectus defects and treatments are available from www.pectusclinic.com
For patients with Pectus Carinatum , the use of the compression wraps, either the #510-3 or for younger patients, the facial garment #210 are ideal for maintaining the shape of the lower ribs and preventing displacement of them whilst wearing of the brace.
For Pectus Excavatum, after corrective surgery, the #640 Adjustable Compression vest with hook and eye front closure is ideal. This can be followed up by wearing of the second stage garment, #1240 Compression vest which maintains compression from the mid-line out, which is designed to help reduce seroma, a common occurrence with this type of surgery.
The risk of post operative erectile dysfunction following Prostatectomy is reported between 14-89% and now with the earlier detection rate of prostate cancer in younger men there is a greater emphasis on appropriate management where erectile dysfunction can be a complication of surgery (Hoyland et al 2013)
Vacuum Erection devices (VED) are an attractive option following prostate or penile corrective surgery by increasing blood flow and oxygenation to the penis and tissues to facilitate the natural return of postoperative erections. Medical reports indicate that it is an option with few contraindications requiring no testing or training prior to use and very effective with up to 92% satisfaction rate (Lehrfeld et al 2009) Post surgical use of the Vacuum Erection device is usually started 1 month after surgery and used on a daily basis for 10 minutes per day without constriction bands or rings to help create blood flow into the penis, creating lengthening and girth.
Eurosurgical’s PosTvac vacuum erection pump system is an ideal device for postsurgical training and subsequent full use as an Erectile Vacuum pump where erectile dysfunction is a continued issue. PosTvac can be used without pharmaceutical support such as Viagra or Cialis or can be used as an adjunct to therapeutic drugs where penile rigidity and girth can be improved significantly.
PosTvac is available from our web site at our online shop at www.esshop.co.uk Click on Medical-Sexual Health-Erectile Dysfunction. Or call our Sales Office on 01483 456007
It can often be an embarrassment from an all too frequent problem with leakage of urine at parties, functions or when wearing light clothing during summer months. Dribble incontinence or leakage of urine is a very common problem resulting from various maladies which are not all medically related.

What is the point of a “post-surgical support” garment? Do I really need one? A surgical procedure usually involves an incision through the skin, fat and sometimes the under lying muscle layers. This will lead to bruising, pain, discomfort, swelling, possible seroma formation and a disruption to your ability to move around freely and without discomfort for at least a few days to a week after the operation. Your breathing might be more shallow, with minimal deep breaths, particularly if you have had abdominal surgery and this can also led to delayed healing and guarding of the area effected. The few days after an operation and before the wound is fully healed are a critical time for you and your body. This is the ideal time to make sure you have everything in place and ready to help you to recover, quickly and without complications, so prepare ahead of time.
A post-surgical compression garment will help you recover, as long as it is appropriate for your operation and it is the right size. After your operation, the area affected will swell with fluid and bruising – this is normal, so Design Veronique take this into account with their sizing and with the first-stage garments. DO NOT measure yourself pre-operatively and think that after the surgery, “I will be smaller or larger”. Use your pre-operative measurements as a guide to selection of the right size garment. To help you wear these garments, the first-stage garments come with zips or hook and eye closure that are designed to be easy to wear and “do up”. After the initial post-operative swelling has reduced, you might want to consider changing to a “second stage” recovery garment. These are made with compression in the right places and without zippers and elaborate closure, as by this time, you can pull on your garments in the manor you usually dress.
If you have any questions or concerns, please ask your doctor or nursing staff, or contact our sales advisors – we are here to help.
Using your own fat as a filler has recently seen a massive increase as a procedure in both the NHS and the private sector. The use of your fat as either a filler for soft tissue defects, or for augmenting areas of the body that require that little more fullness, has long been used, however the practice has increased enormously in all parts of the world over recent years. The UK is now one of the world’s largest fat filling, or Lipo-Modelling nations, with both the NHS and private sector increasingly using fat as the best and most popular filling ingredient. It is natural as it comes from you, so rejection, allergies and other complications are reduced. The results can be permanent, where the transplanted fat survives, giving you a natural soft tissue filler where it is needed.
In the NHS, DIEP flap breast reconstruction is the “gold” standard of todays plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Using the abdominal fat and blood supply as your new reconstructed breast. However many DIEP flaps require some further correction to volume or smoothing of edges and contour defects after a couple of years. This is where Lipo-modelling is excellent, as a means to move fat from one area of the body, such as the tummy, thigh’s or upper arms, to repair the contours in another. Using modern Liposuction methods to remove the fat, and fat harvesting canisters that collect and separate the fat from the fluid, blood and oils, todays surgeons can replace approximately 200-600 ml of fat within an hour to its new site.
In the cosmetic world, this also makes for excellent new procedures that use your own fat to remodel your breast, buttocks, calf and many other areas that previously would have required an implant. Using your own natural tissues instead of a silicone foreign implant has got to be a sensible and longer term solution for many today.
ESSHOP has an excellent range of Fat Grafting garments, ideally suited for these surgical procedure. Compression support garments to the areas where the fat has been removed, and less aggressive compression to the areas where the injected fat has been placed, that help maintain the correction and give you more comfort when recovering from surgery. For more information talk to your surgeon or contact Eurosurgical.
Any surgery to the body (abdomen) whether it is “open” (laparotomy) or “closed” key hole surgery, is a painful experience, with recovery hampered by the feeling that your stomach has been punctured or stabbed in several places. The natural tendency to bend over, curl up and get a hot water bottle to protect the body is actually counter-productive and will lead to slower recovery with shorter and shallower breathing. “You need to stand up straight and take full deep breaths” is what the doctor orders, but not always easy to accomplish.
Using the Design Veronique abdominal binder immediately after the surgery, not only gives the patient the added protection, support, compression and comfort, but actually demands that the body is correctly positioned, with stomach in, shoulders back and deep, long full breaths – to aid and speed up recovery. Available in 6”, 9” and 12” lengths, the binder should be positioned comfortable between the top of the pubic bone to the bottom of the lowest ribs. The larger abdominal binders have pleated backs, so that the bottom panel sits over the hips (which is wider) and the top panel compressed the softer tissues of the stomach. Faster recovery, better support, feel better sooner.
You’re looking forward to your new breasts. How big will I be? Going from a “B” cup to a “C” or “D”?? What new bra’s will I buy?
Planning for breast surgery, whether that is to go larger or smaller, is exciting and daunting at the same time. Popping out to the shops to buy the new bra for your new shape sounds easy, but how do you determine what size you will become before your surgery? Your surgeon would have told you about the post-operative pain, swelling and discomfort, so how can you help yourself recover. Choosing the right bra for your new shape, that gives you the right support and fits your new shape, can be made so much easier if you look for a Post-Operative Support bra from Design Veronique at ESSHOP.
Design Veronique Post-Surgical Support bras are available in many styles, to suit different conditions, such as whether you have breast enlargement (augmentation), breast asymmetry, reduction or reconstruction – there are Design Veronique Bra’s that are suited to aid your recovery and make you comfortable and look good. All the bras have front fastening – it is amazing difficult to do up your bra from the back – after you have had surgery!! The shoulder straps are adjustable, so that the correct position of the cup and the side supports can be easily found.
How to choose the right size?
Simply measure your under bust circumference before your operation. Get a friend to help you and do not wear clothes. This size will NOT be altered by surgery, as this is the size of your rib cage. If it measures 32” prior to the surgery, you will require a Medium Design Veronique Bra of any from the range. Do not assume that because you normally buy a 32” bra that you are indeed 32”. It is essential that you actually take this measurement, it may be quite different from what you expect.
Which bra’s to choose from the Design Veronique range for my surgery?
The following are some simple suggestions of Design Veronique style bras that are made for different surgeries;
Breast Enlargement (augmentation), also breast Mastopexy (uplift) and Breast Asymmetry.
Allyssandra 2” Cotton Bra
Yesmina Cotton Sports Bra
Breast Reduction

Gynaecomastia, Man boobs (or Moobs) have increased massively during the latter twentieth century. Often diet and exercise are helpful in reducing the appearance of breast tissue and improving the chest muscles, but not always!!
Many men today find that their unwanted, soft tissue of rather large breast glands, sit on top of the developed muscles (the pectoral) which is developed and hidden underneath the breast. How can you reduce the appearance of soft tissue, when diet and exercise don’t work?
Surgery is one option – a small incision in the armpit, through which the surgeon uses both liposuction and dissection to remove the fatty tissues and the fibrous glands behind the nipple. Mr Paul Levick, a plastic surgeon based in the West Midlands and an expert on Gynaecomastia surgery for over 30 years, has carried out this difficult surgery in over 2000 men and is the author of a book on the subject says, “Gynaecomastia patients can be very demanding and have come in with a view of what they want to achieve, the surgery demands the greatest attention to detail and a knowledge of the structures involved, to be able to produce repeatable and pleasing results”.
Design Veronique are the No. 1 USA surgical compression company, founded by husband and wife team, George and Veronique Smith from Oakland, California, who specialise in compression garments, that can be worn either after surgery – to aid recovery or instead of surgery to produce a desired result.
The style #640 Male Vest is a specific garment made for men who have undergone breast reduction (Gynaecomastia) surgery. The vest is made of a breathable fabric called “PowerNet” a hexagonal weave of proprietary materials (spandex and nylon) which allows for multi-direction expansion. This unique design of hexagonal weave, together with the use of Gradient Compression Technology (GCT) has allowed Design Veronique to create the ideal male compression garment, that maintains the right compression forces to the chest and helps return the body to the right shape after surgery and once the initial swelling and bruising has reduced.
Leading UK Plastic Surgeon, Mr Paul Levick says “finding the ideal male compression vest to complement the surgery, has been of significant important to my results, I recommend the Design Veronique style #640 to all my patients”.
Surgery is not for everybody however as it is quite a dramatic decision to take, let alone the costs and recovery involved. So are there garments or vests that can help reduce the appearance of the Man boob, without the need for surgery?
Yes, Design Veronique now produce a second-stage garment for gynaecomastia, the style #1240, a garment that has been designed to provide more compression, with a double-layer of the unique PowerNet fabric and Gradient Compression Technology over the entire upper chest area – in a vest! This is ideal for all men that wish to produce that toned chest structure, even without having the surgery.
