Im 16 days post-op. Wore garment for 5 days post-of & it came off on day 6 due to circulation problems in stomach. On day 14 it was back on but i feel it's too tight around my butt & Im afraid it may negatively affect final results. I'd like 2 hear the opinion of other surgeons. Should I keep same garment? Change to another one that puts less pressure on buttock area? What is the "stage 1 and stayed 2"? My doc has not mentioned such thing.Please read caption of photos for addtnl info (didnt fit)

Answer: Garment issues Hello, thank you for your question. I recommend contacting your physician and discussing garments with him or her, especially given your history with having circulation problems in your stomach. In your photo, it looks like the BBL garment has mesh over the buttocks which is in place to avoid pressure to this area. Some surgeons use Stage 1 and Stage 2 garments after BBL which are designed to optimize your BBL results. The types and garments are very surgeon-specific so I highly recommend talking with your surgeon to get recommendations for these. Thank you.

Answer: Surgical garments Fnd a surgical garment that fits snug, but not too tight. You should be comfortable in it and don't worry that it's too tight that it will harm your circulation.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Answer: BBL compression garments Compression garments should be snug but not overly tight. The best advice is to follow the protocols as recommended by your surgeon. He/she will typically recommend a particular garment type/size. They will also have recommendations for adjusting the garment as swelling subsides (whether that involves tailoring the garment or a second garment is up to the individual physician).Compression recommendations will vary from physician to physician. Generally speaking around the clock usage is recommended for the first 3-4 weeks. Patients can then downgrade to a half days use for an additional 2 weeks afterwards.
