Can a Compression Garment Smooth Hips?

Conventional wisdom states that a "spanx-like" garment or bodyshaper will certainly alter your shape....temporarily. However, you do have a good point and one that I have pondered. I have observed that men that wear particulary tight belt buckles or females as well tend to develop atrophy in the suprapubic area that appears directly related to the pressure applied. I have believed that perhaps this observation could be applied elsewhere. IT is a fine balance and that is the problem. Excessive presure will cause a sore. Perhaps garments will be designed that can monitor the exact pressure. We shall see......?

Unfortunately, compression
garments have minimal long-term impact on body contour.Unless the fat cells were somehow destroyed
by pressure, they would still be present and behave in a normal manner.For this reason, short-term changes following
the use of compression garments are probably related to the removal of residual
edema.For
this reason, changes in body contour usually always require removal of fat
cells.This usually requires techniques
such as liposuction or CoolSculpting. If
you’re interested in changing the contour of your hip area, consultation with a
Board-Certified plastic surgeon is appropriate.This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses
your anatomic findings and achieves your aesthetic goals.

Probably not, unfortunately. It would probably be more effective to perform exercises that could help contribute to the shape you'd like if you don't want to consider liposuction. Good luck!
