How to choose and use your brace

As physician Marcio Walace himself states, there are a number of post-surgical shaping belt formats on the market. However, for aesthetic purposes, they are not the most suitable. This is because many of them have no structure to be used for so long.

Ideally, you should look for sturdy branded parts made from quality material. Misuse can cause more damage to the body than actually shaping it according to what you want.
