Hi! I'm scheduled for a breast fat transfer next month. I am slender (5'6", 116 pounds), but the plastic surgeon thought he could harvest enough fat from my inner and outer thighs for the transfer to breast. The thing that surprised me was he said I won't need to wear compression on my thighs after the liposuction procedure. He said the seams from compression garments can cause indents or irregularities. Is this unusual advice or pretty typical? I had expected compression.
