Sirish Maddali, MD answers: After liposuction - compression garments or Spanx?

Can I use Spanx instead regular compression garments after liposuction?

I usually prescribe compression garments but some of my patients use Spanx. I feel that the results are similar in both cases.

Furthermore, the garment should be able to extend above and below the liposuction site. When I do localized liposuction (one or two areas), I will always recommend a garment. However, when I do a lot of liposuction, I tend to avoid garments altogether. The reason is that bunching is very hard to control with a very large garment.

Good luck with your procedure.
