had a tummy tuck with liposuction of the back and side 2 weeks ago. I purchased the first garment at my doctors office and it was super uncomfortable. The zipper was on the side and it would sink into my skin causing that side to be very curvy while the other is straight. My doctors office advised that they prefer garments with the zipper on the side instead of the front. I am scared that this will cause one side to be curvier than the other.

Answer: Compression garments after surgery As long as a compression garment is not causing indenting, or too tight, then zipper location should not be important. I prefer that patients have gentle, uniform compression in the areas that have been treated with liposuction. I would recommend following back up with your surgeon, and also bringing your garment, as well as any alternatives that you may prefer to wear with you to your appointment. Best wishes.

Answer: Compression garments after liposuction Most surgeon recommend wearing compression garments after liposuction, at least for a short while. I generally recommend three weeks. There are several different companies that make the garments. Your surgeon will make recommendations but will probably be flexible especially if it doesn't fit right. Sometimes the garments can cause some indentations or irritation. Wearing a cotton undershirt, or foam pads can often solve these minor problems. You should certainly discuss your cincernd with your surgeon if you think the garment is causeing an irregularity. Good luck.
