Asked By:caz73 in United Kingdom, GB

Hi I'm nearly five weeks post liposuction on legs knee upwards. I had 3 and a half litres removed.. my compression garment is too big and uncomfortable however when I wear spanx clothing my legs ache and swell after a few hours. It's difficult to speak to my surgeon as I had it done abroad and it takes a while to have answers returned by email. So any suggestions or thoughts would b appreciated very much.
