Best post operative attire - can I use compression garment from c-section?

Thank you for your question.
In my experience, I put my patients in a surgical abdominal garment for the first three months post-operatively to minimize swelling, these are also machine washable and can be air dried. After this period, patients can switch into spanx or other compressive garments. The garments you describe in your question sound fantastic for stage two of your post-operative healing process.

It’s best to ask your surgeon this question, as they would be more familiar with your situation and may have a different recommendation on which compression garment is the most suitable for you.

I recommend bringing these compression garments to your pre op appointment with your surgeon so she/he can see how they fit and if they would be appropriate for post op. Compression should fit snug, but not be too tight. Your surgeon will let you know what is best based on your surgical plan. Good luck with surgery!
