I am trying to find a decent garment for after thigh lipo. Is a simple pair of tight workout leggings enough? or should I find something more like a medical grade leg girdle ?
Answer: Post-Op Garments Your board certified plastic surgeon will guide you to the best garment for your post-op course. My patients get a garment with their surgery and wake up wearing it. Most store-bought garments are not ideal for the "first stage" garment immediately after surgery. They are more like "second stage" or stepdown garments. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Compression garment For the first month, you need a post surgical compression garment. Your surgeon's office should have one that they recommend. After then, you can probably switch to a more relaxed garment, but your surgeon is the best one to ask. We all have our own post op protocol. Best of luck.
