| Abstract: |
A post operative compression bandage for the human head is described having primary utility for use after facelift or rhytidectomy plastic surgery. The bandage includes a generally flat and unitary member that is formed of relatively thin, single ply, four-way stretch, and washable cloth-like material, preferably of about 90 percent nylon and about 10 percent lycra spandex. The unitary bandage member is formed by stitching two identically shaped cloth members at mating convex arc portions thereof, to thereby form a chin cup. Each of the two cloth members includes a neck strap, a top of the head strap, and a back of the head strap. These six straps terminate in mating hook/loop fasteners of the Velcro type. The length, width and placement of the straps are selected to achieve a desired compression of the covered head area, while at the same time minimizing the tendency of a tensioned bandage to form wrinkles, creases and the like. The bandage forms an opening about the face, thus the bandage does not interfere with chemosurgical and/or dermabrasion procedures that may have been performed upon or around the forehead, eyelids, cheeks, and/or the mouth of the patient. The portion of the bandage that covers the ears is solid, i.e. it does not contain openings. Thus, the bandage maintains the desired compression in the area of the ear, in the event that rhytidectomy procedures have been performed in that area.
