I'm using a Vedette Dual Compression body suit post abdominal lipo. It's giving me a very hour glass shape, however, my lower abdomen seems bloated. Could the compression garment be causing this? Here is the product: http://www.vedettestore.com/eng/search.php?comp=2

Answer: Compression
It is best to check with your surgeon to see what they recommend. However, it is important to make sure that the compression is even. If there is more compression in one area than another, then you may have areas with more swelling (the areas with the less compression). If this happens, you may need a different garment or you can purchase some sheet foam at at a hardware store or craft store and strategically place it under the garment to maximize compression in those areas. However, check with your surgeon before changing anything that they are recommending.
Good Luck
