I'm excited to be getting my tummy tuck and BBL next year but I have concerns. My chosen doctor dsn't use a SCD device during surgery.I was advised by the nurse to buy my own compression socks and wear them 2 days prior to my surgery day,during the surgery and while recovering.Is this sufficient to prevent DVT?My chosen doc has had MUCH success with this method and to date no patients have suffered from DVT.I feel comfortable w this doctor bt need 2 b 100% sure since it IS my life on the line.
