Compression garment or binder?

Postoperative compression varies from surgeon to surgeon, and when something is a matter of preference, it usually means that either one is a reasonable choice.  Certainly in a smaller patient, I have found that garments seem to sit more securely than a binder. I would recommend following the recommendations of your board-certified plastic surgeon, and best of luck.

I appreciate your question.

It is dependent on surgeon preference.   In my opinion, compression garments are more comfortable for patients and help with the swelling.  Best to confirm with your surgeon.



The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.



best of luck!
