Posted under Liposuction q&a

Are sports compression garments, ( like tight underarmour leggings) enough compression after thigh liposuction?

Melissa_00
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 ?
