Can I use Spanx instead regular compression garments after liposuction?

Hello,

 

What you will find is that docs vary on the issue. I like tight compression believing that it tends to mold the remaining fat nicely. It also tends to limit the swelling somewhat. Spanx are more comfortable but do not compress as much.

 

 

Best Regards,
