Post-lipo foam boards: necessary for optimal results?

October 12, 2017
Asked By:Petite Blonde in Miami, FL

I suspect the use of lipo foam boards is a gimmick and that the surgeon's skill and technique of fat removal determine patient results. Is this the case or should I invest in these for my abdomen lipo recovery?
