  • Posted to How tight should compression garment be? on 8 Mar 2012

    I'm a month out too. How are your results? I have the same under garment you have. I just wonder if they really work...I've read mixed reviews.

    I got my saddlebags done on feb 10. Literally best thing I ever did!! I have gone from a size 10 to an 8 in 2 wks and still swollen so will prob get even smaller. I look so much different in clothes. I'm so happy. Recovery was easy. Started walking at day 3 and moved to elliptical at day 10. I have been getting massages 3x a week. I am soooooo happy with the results. But use a good doctor! You get what you pay for. I paid $6000 for inner/outer thighs, saddlebags and banana roll area. You will be so happy!

    Be really careful about the indents and lines created by your garment. Be sure to move garment around and massage the indents after you take it off. I wear mine moderately tight. I read it can increase swelling and bruising if too tight.

    For whatever reason, my pain was really minimal. I do not feel anything at my incision sites. I am very bruised and it hurts to get up and down but just sitting here, I feel okay. Today (day 4), I am still swollen a lot but I can definitely see results. I took 3 advil this morning to help with pain.

    I wonder if you could put neosporin on your incision sites to help? How many cc's did they take out of you?

    I had my procedure yesterday. Inner/ out thighs, saddle bags and lower back on sides. I felt okay this morning but as day goes on I feel much worse. Are you having any drainage? I have had no drainage so I'm scared that nothing is draining. Did you see any improvement on your first day? I did earlier but swelling has increased a lot. Since we did it on the same day or close enough would be fun to share progress together!
