Learn how to wear the Salome 517 post-lipo shapewear correctly, from sizing to daily checks, so you get high compression and butt lift support without setbacks.

Quick answer

Wear the Salome 517 only after your surgeon clears you for stage 2 compression, and put it on over clean, dry skin by stepping into it and rolling it up gradually. Check that the butt-lift seam sits under your glutes and that the flannel lining lies flat with no rolling at the knees.

Why the 517's compression and lining change how you put it on

The Salome 517 combines high-compression Powernet with a soft flannel inner lining that runs from the bust to the knees. That lining helps reduce friction, but it also means the garment will not slide into place like a lightweight shaper. Pulling it on in one motion usually causes the flannel to bunch behind the knees or under the arms, which defeats the purpose of even compression.

Because the 517 is a sleeveless post-lipo garment, the shoulder area is open. That makes it easier to position the torso panel, but it also means you need to anchor the garment at the hips before you adjust the bust and knees. Expect a firm, snug feel; that is the high compression working, not a sign that the size is wrong.

When to skip the 517 or adjust your approach

If you are still in stage 1 recovery, or if your surgeon has not specifically approved stage 2 compression, do not wear this garment yet. The 517 is designed for post-operative stage 2 and postpartum recovery with medical recommendation, so timing matters more than technique.

If you have limited hand strength or recent arm surgery, ask for help the first few times. The high compression and knee-length design are harder to manage alone than a shorter shaper, and forcing it can irritate incision sites. In that case, practice the steps below with a helper until you can don it comfortably.

How to put on the Salome 517: 5 steps

1. Get medical clearance and check the fit: Before the first wear, confirm with your surgeon that you are approved for stage 2 compression. Try the 517 on over clean, dry skin for a few minutes. The garment should feel firm but not pinch or restrict breathing. If the flannel lining rolls at the knees or the shoulder openings dig in, adjust the size before regular use. If you feel numbness, tingling, or shortness of breath, remove it and contact your surgeon.
2. Step in and roll up gradually: Sit on the edge of a bed or chair. Gather the garment down to the waist opening, step into it, and roll the legs up one at a time. Work the flannel lining smooth as you go, especially behind the knees. Do not pull from the shoulder straps or the butt-lift seam. A common mistake is pulling the whole garment up at once; that causes the lining to bunch and creates pressure points.
3. Position the butt-lift seam correctly: Once the legs are up, stand and adjust the butt-lift feature so the seam sits under the glutes, lifting rather than flattening. The torso panel should cover from the bust down without rolling at the top edge. Smooth the flannel lining flat across your abdomen and lower back. Check in a mirror: the seam should follow the natural crease under each cheek, not cut across the middle.
4. Smooth the knees and bust edge: Bend your knees slightly and run your hands around the knee openings to make sure the flannel lies flat and does not roll. At the bust, the sleeveless design leaves the shoulders free, but the top edge should sit comfortably without digging into the underarm. If either area rolls, adjust before you sit or lie down. Rolled edges at the knee or bust are the most common cause of discomfort; fix them before you move on.
5. Do a 10-minute comfort check: Wear the garment for 10 minutes while sitting, standing, and walking. You should feel even compression, not sharp pain or restricted breathing. Check that the butt-lift seam has not shifted and that the knees are still smooth. If everything feels stable, you can continue wearing it as your surgeon advises. If the garment slides down or the seam moves, it may be the wrong size or not yet fully adjusted; readjust and recheck.
