I recommend following up with your Dr about their compression protocol. I do recommend adding RF treatments externally like venus legacy, exilis ultra, Vanquish, shock/vibration therapy like Cellutone/z wave, hyperbaric oxygen with your compression in order to decrease swelling and improve results. Best, Dr. Emer
We use Design Veronique because they have a vast variety for all shapes and sizes. In your case, a good binder should be sufficient.
Thank you for sharing your question. Your physicians office will be your best resource, but in general patients can obtain supportive compression garments from Marena, Veronique, and other postsurgical garment providers. They have a myriad of different styles to fit the areas to be treated. Hope this helps.
I appreciate your question. I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients. Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time. 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! Dr. Schwartz Board Certified Plastic Surgeon #RealSelf100Surgeon
Thank you for your question Sunshyne. An abdominal binder is an excellent first stage garment for liposuction of the flanks only. It provides adequate compression and coverage, is easy to put on and take off and doesn't have to be removed to use the restroom. Binders are sometimes made of materials that can become irritating to the skin after days of use and can be bulky to wear under business attire. After the first few days following surgery, you may find that converting to a lighter, girdle type garment will be more comfortable and convenient. It's always best to check with your surgeon and follow their recommended plan of care. Good luck. Dr. Polo
