I am getting liposuction of my inner thigh and knee done in a week, and my surgeon told me to buy a compression garment. I didn't have any questions during the consultation, but after some thinking, I wanted to ask: 1) how will I use the washroom in a compression garment when I'm advised to keep it on 24 hours a day? 2) how long do I have to wait until I can take the whole thing off and take a proper shower? 3) How long after the surgery can I engage in sexual activity?
