No need for two garments when one will do

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Two compression garments after Liposuction and Butt Lift?

Since I had butt lift and liposuction in my inner thigh and waist, do I need to wear two different types of garmets? One for my butt and one for the thighs and waist?

It if often difficult to find an exact fit garment. Especially when your size will change dramatically over time due to swelling. You will need constant re-adjustments in size and contour.

Furhtermore, some physicians do not desire compression of the lipoinjected areas.

Your surgeon no likely has a preference and you should consult him or her first. Typically surgeons desire strong compression during phase 1 of the healing process. During phase 2, I often have paitents try on commercially available compression garments such as Spanx garments (available at fine retailers) or Cupid garments (available at Walmart).
