Worth It
Spent: $7,400 in Minneapolis, MN

I am a 21 year old female in good shape. I had a problem area on my tummy and I decided to get liposuction. I had tumescent lipo. on my tummy June 6th and by june 17th I was told by my massage therapist, who works at the clinic under my plastic surgeon, that i could stop wearing my compression garment all together. After readinf that some people wear them for 6 weeks or longer concerns me. I feel like my massage therpist could have been wrong.

I love my results for the most paRT. Although I am a bit concerned I did not wear my compression garment long enough. The treatment went fine and wasn't that bad at all. The day after surgery I just slept and hung out.

If I start wearing Spanx or another compression garment now will it make a difference or be a waste of time?? Thank You
