Doctor gave me a garment that it was only covering my abdomen which i wore for 2 weeks and it was very uncomfortable and sometimes it gave me a horrible back pain. I bought a 1 piece surgical garment recommended by my doctor but it is also very uncomfortable, and I only wore it one week, I am not swollen anymore, Can I switch to Spanxs? Does it really change the final result for my lipo and my buttocks?

Answer: Compression garment Dear luzma911,compression garments are used to prevent swelling and promote healing. Every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: I'm 3 weeks post lipo and BBL. I am tired of my garment. Can I switch to Spanx? Does it need to cover my buttocks? Hello dear!! Thanks for the question and provided information as well. I suggest my patients to use a full body compression garment, 24/7 for the first month, and after that, for 12 hours a day for 3 weeks, to get the best results. If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon. Good luck :)
