Compression Garment After Liposuction - Can I Substitute with Another Garment or Back Brace?

November 7, 2010
Asked By:mac121 in NY

The compression garment supplied by the office is rough and uncomfortable, I do not have it too tight but its driving me crazy and is itchy. I know compression is important is it ok if I wear a back brace, it covers my entire area treated (lower abdomen and flanks) and is much softer and more comfortable. I also have tight girdles would that be ok as well, thanks
