I had my flanks, back bra area and arms liposuctioned and fat transferred to my breast.

After liposuction, it is important to wear the correct garment type and size to get the results that you and your surgeon were planning for.  Generally you need compression over the areas that were liposuctioned but very little pressure or distortion over the breasts (to protect the fat graft).  Usually the second stage garments are very similar to the initial postsurgical garment but tend to be slightly more comfortable and easy to get in and out of.  Check with your surgeon to see which garment/bra you should be wearing at this point.Hope this helps, and best of luck,Dr. Lim

Every PS has a little different post op instructions, so it is always best to contact your PS to make sure you are doing exactly what he/she wants. In my practice I use Design Veronique for my 1st stage garment after liposuction, and I have them wear it for ~4-6 weeks. After that a 2nd stage garment is optional to my patients. I recommend something like Spanx - tight but not too tight and smooth with no seams, hooks or zippers. This can be worn indefinitely.

Best to ONLY ask the operative surgeon, his/her preferences in any postoperative items. The reason is we each have differing preferences to garments and care..
