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 patients 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.
