What is a good brand of compression garment for tummy tuck?

Question

What is a good brand of post surgical compression garment for tummy tuck/thigh liposuction. My doctor provides binder only, so I need recommendations for a good, well trusted brand.

Our office provides our TT/lipo patients with an adjustable compression garment manufactured by Clear Point.  The  patients like the support it provides to the back and to the abdomen.  The only complaint I have heard is related to the "itchiness" of the fabric which can be remedied by wearing a soft t-shirt under the garment.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Hello,I agree that many patients like Marena. I've also had patients like using Bella Band. Have your surgeon take a look at whatever you plan to use. All the best in your recovery!Dr. BlaggAustin, TX

Thank you for your question. I recommend wearing a compression garment for 6 weeks following tummy tuck surgery. Marena makes excellent quality post operative support garments. You should also follow your plastic surgeon's advice regarding level of physical activity and use of a compression garment. Hope this helps!

I have used Marena garments for my lipo/tummy tuck patients and they typically love it because it provides a fair amount of compression. Newer garments made by Veronique are also great postop. Hope this helps!

Your surgeon should be able to give you some recommendations for compression garments that will work best for your particular situation. I require my patients to wear a compression garment for 6 weeks (both day and night) following surgery so that the swelling can go down and your abdomen is able to heal properly. After that, anybody shaping garment is fine to wear, but again, your surgeon may have recommendations.

We use multiple brands of garments depending upon the areas of suction.  We assess our patients prior to surgery and select the garment we feel will be the most comfortable and effective.  We provide two garments for our liposuction patients.

I have used Isavela and Caromed garments in the past and they have worked very well. Both companies offer garments online.

Thank you for your question. It is better to ask your PS about the garments and they can provide you if needed. Marena or contourMD are brand we use mostly.

Nancy de Kleer, MD, FRCSC (Plast) · Answer

I really enjoy using the Marena brand of garments for my body contouring patients.
For tummy tuck/thigh liposuction, we normally use the FBS garment, which is above the knee, has suspenders and an open crotch.
The LGS is another good option - no suspenders however the top band is quite wide.
LGM is a capri length option if your thigh liposuction is done around the knees as well.
These garments are all first stage garments, to be worn in the first 4-6 weeks after surgery, after which second stage garments may be useful. 
Check with your surgeon to be sure they are comfortable with this product.
There are many other good brands available as well, we like the Marena.
I recommend you use the black color, and use a garment that does up on both sides for the first stage of your recovery.
Best of luck to you.
