Postop Arm Lift. What's the goal of a compression garment after Brachioplasty? To compress tightly or prevent skin from sagging?

Asked By:JJCWI99 in Germany, DE

I was provided a garment to wear that is like a small jacket, and not uncomfortable on cool days with clothes over, but warm days are unbearable so I’m looking for alternatives. I’ve purchased a pair of upper arm sleeves but they do not feel tight enough. Is the goal to be compressed tightly or to simply prevent the skin from sagging? The pair of arm sleeves indeed prevents sag but doesn’t necessarily provide tight compression. Thank you in advance.
