5 "Homework Assignments" that Optimize a Liposuction and Tummy Tuck
Ask your surgeon about what garment they recommend for your liposuction and tummy tuck surgery.
In our practice, we measure our patients at their preoperative appointment and order their garment for them. For a tummy tuck surgery, I routinely perform liposuction of the hips and lower back.
While important, your compression garment is only part of the equation.

Your doctor will recommend the best compression garment post liposuction.
There is a great variety of post liposuction garments. We usually use the ones from HK Surgical, however we have good results from some other companies as well. An experience and skilled liposuction surgeon will recommend the best garment for you as part of the pre and post op instructions.

Post liposuction garment
The best place to start is at your Board Certified Plastic Surgeons office. They will advise you what type of garment you need, how long t wear it, and where to get them. Please listen and wear it the way he wants you to. We have found garments to be very helpful in managing swelling and helping the result.

What Kind of Compression Garment Do I Need?
We used a wrap around compression garment for these procedures but if breasts are done a different garment will be used. Usually, these garments are provided by the surgery center and the office. Several weeks after, you may substitute the surgical garment with girdles or bicylce- type shorts.

Medical grade garment
I provide my patient with their first set of garments. They are made specifically for post-surgical patients. i do not feel that all patients can find appropriate compression wear on their own at a department store. Insist your surgeon provides these garments or lets you purchase them from them. There is a difference and be prepared to wear compression for at least six weeks. Good luck.

Tummy tuck & Liposuction garments
After tummy tuck and liposuction, you need a garment that will give you great support yet soft and durable. I use the Marenagroup garments which are F5 certified. My patients are measured and fitted for their garment prior to surgery. I want to make sure it fits instead of trial and error. there should be no surprises.

Do I need compression garments after liposuction?
Doctors differ in their opinions. I have been doing various forms of liposuction for more than 20 years and I have never used compression garments. I learned this from colleagues in Latin America. I do use thin cotton elastic garments such as Spanx or Underarmour to keep tissue warm so that it heals faster and more comfortably.

Garments for Body Contouring
You should get your compression garments from your plastic surgeon. Once your surgery is scheduled you should get measured and your garments ordered. The office will advise you as to how and how long to use them.

Compression garnments after liposuction.
Your PS office should provide you with a compression garnment. If they didn't and you are buying it on your own you should call them and depending on your measurements, figure out the size and if you need a long or a short one. Make sure you get this before your procedure.

You definitely want to ask your Plastic Surgeon.
There are a variety of companies that offer compression garments. Marena group comes to mind (NOT an endorsement!) but there are several others. Regardless you definitely want to talk to your doctor about what kind of garment. Your surgeon should help guide you as to what kind of garment to get, and can guide you much better. Good luck!
