A compression garment for treating post operative patients involved in body contouring surgery and including a base structured for removable disposition in an operative position about the torso and other portions of the patient's body. The compression garment is dimensioned, configured and structured to apply appropriate compression to the surgically affected portions of the patient in order to reduce pain, diminish swelling and avoid fluid accumulation, while not impairing the venous and lymphatic circulation of the affected body portion. The base has one or a first and second cover member overlying its internal and external faces and a closure assembly serves to maintain the garment in a variable closed orientation such that appropriate compressive force may be applied to the affected body areas.

1. A garment structured to compress predetermined body portions of a post-operative patient, said garment comprising: a base structured for operative disposition in surrounding relation about at least a torso of the patient,said base including a first end and a second end each extending along and at least partially defining a different, oppositely disposed periphery of said base,said first end including a frontal portion extending along and in aligned relation with a lower pectoral region of the patient, when said base is operatively disposed,two lateral portions substantially oppositely disposed in interconnecting relation between said frontal portion and a rear portion of at least said first end and distinguishable from said frontal and rear portions,said lateral portions extending outwardly from said frontal and rear portions into a predetermined underarm position on the patient,said second end of said base including a frontal portion and a rear portion respectively disposed in aligned relation with an upper pelvic area and an upper buttock area of the patient,said rear portion of said second end comprising a substantially scalloped configuration disposed in aligned relation to the upper buttock area of the patient, andan undergarment formed of a flexible, compressible material disposed in surrounding, compressive relation to at least a torso portion of the patients bodies; said base further structured for operative disposition in overlying, surrounding relation to said undergarment. 2. A garment as recited in claim 1 wherein each of said lateral portions have a sufficient longitudinal dimension to extend outwardly from said frontal and rear portions into substantially aligned relation with a different armpit of the patient. 3. A garment as recited in claim 2 wherein each of said lateral portions have a sufficient transverse dimension to extend across a corresponding side of the patient in attached relation to said frontal and rear portions of said first end. 4. A garment as recited in claim 1 wherein each of said lateral portions have a sufficient transverse dimension to extend across a corresponding side of the patient in attached relation to said frontal and rear portions of said first end. 5. A garment as recited in claim 1 wherein said base extends continuously along a length of said torso between and in interconnecting relation with said first and second end. 6. A garment as recited in claim 1 wherein said frontal portion of said second end includes at least one peripheral portion dimensioned and configured for disposition in aligned overlying relation to at least an upper pelvic area of the patient. 7. A garment as recited in claim 1 wherein said frontal portion of said first end includes a scalloped configuration extending along at least a majority of a periphery of said frontal portion of said first end. 8. A garment as recited in claim 7 wherein said scalloped configuration of said frontal portion of said first end is disposed in aligned, substantially conforming relation with a lower pectoral region of a female patient, when said base is operatively disposed. 9. A garment as recited in claim 1 wherein said frontal portion of said first end comprises a substantially linear configuration extending between and in interconnecting relation with said two lateral portions. 10. A garment as recited in claim 9 wherein said substantially linear configuration extends along at least a majority of a distance between said two lateral partitions and substantially confirms to a lower pectoral region of a male patient. 11. A garment as recited in claim 1 wherein said frontal portion of said first end comprises a substantially linear configuration extending between and in interconnecting relation with said two lateral portions. 12. A garment as recited in claim 1 wherein at least a majority of said base is formed of a compressive material. 13. A garment as recited in claim 12 wherein said compressive material is defined by a foam material. 14. A garment as recited in claim 1 wherein said base comprises oppositely disposed free ends; a closure assembly connected to each of said opposite free ends, said closure assembly structured to removably maintain said base in a closed orientation in surrounding relation to the torso of the patient when said base is in an operative position. 15. A garment as recited in claim 14 wherein said closed orientation is at least partially defined by said closure assembly disposed in interconnecting, aligning relation to said opposite free ends. 16. A garment as recited in claim 15 wherein said closure assembly and said base are cooperatively structured to vary said closed orientation; said closed orientation being variably dependent at least on the size of the patient. 17. A garment assembly structured to compress predetermined portions of a post operative patient, said garment assembly comprising: an undergarment formed of a flexible, compressible material disposed in surrounding, compressive relation to at least the torso portion of the patient's body,an outer garment comprising a base structured for operative disposition in surrounding relation about at least a torso of the patient and in overlying relation to said undergarment; said base including a first end and a second end each extending along and at least partially defining a different, oppositely disposed periphery of said base,said first end including a frontal portion and a rear portion respectively extending along and in aligned relation with a lower pectoral region of the patient and a back region of the patient,two lateral portions substantially oppositely disposed in interconnecting relation between said frontal portion and said rear portion of said first end,said second end of said base including a frontal portion and a rear portion respectively disposed in substantially aligned relation with an upper pelvic area and an upper buttocks area of the patient,said lateral portions extending outwardly from said frontal and rear portions of at least said first end into a predetermined underarm position of the patient, andsaid frontal portion of said first end including a scalloped configuration extending along at least the majority of a periphery thereof; said scalloped configuration substantially disposed and dimensioned in conformance with a lower pectoral region of a female patient. 18. A garment assembly as recited in claim 17 wherein said frontal portion of said first end comprises a substantially linear configuration extending along at least a majority of the distance between and an interconnecting relation with said two lateral portions; said linear configuration of said frontal portion of said first end substantially disposed and dimensioned in conformance with a lower pectoral region of a male patient. 19. A garment assembly as recited in claim 17 wherein at least a majority of said base is formed of a compressive foam material. 20. A garment assembly as recited in claim 17 wherein said base comprises oppositely disposed free ends; a closure assembly connected to each of said opposite free ends, said closure assembly structured to removably maintain said base in a closed orientation in surrounding relation to the torso of the patient when said base is in an operative position.
