Two Compression Garments After Liposuction and Butt Lift?

After a liposuction and Butt lift, it is important for patient use a compression garment. Typically, patients may only need a single compression garment that is designed to treat these multiple areas.  

One garment that will go from the upper abdome to the knee should be fine for this combination. But do what your Dr tells you to do.
