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.
Answer: Post-Surgical Compression Garment 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

Answer: Tummy Tuck - Post Op Compression? 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!

Answer: Post-surgical compression garment. 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!

Answer: Post Surgical compression garment 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.

Answer: What is a good brand of post surgical compression garment for tummy tuck/thigh liposuction? 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.
