How Does a Compression Garment Help After Liposuction Surgery? (photo)

February 9, 2011
Asked By:

There a lots of references in the stories posted on Real Self about compression garments post-op. Don't really understand how a compression garment "works" and makes a difference. What if you didn't wear one, what happens? Are all compression garments the same quality, or are some brands better for healing--like spanx? Thank You VERY much.
