I prefer compression garments. But, not all compression garments are the same. I research to find what I believe to be the most effective and comfortable compression garments for each procedure. Compression garments are not comfortable, but most of my patients report that they enjoy taling the compression garment off, but they sooon learn that in many cases they feel more comfortable with the compression garments on.

In my opinion, the right compression garments can help recovery, improve results and actually help to kae a patient feel more comfortable.
