Could I wear a panty girdle underneath my compression garment? I'm two weeks post op.

Question

David Stoker, MD · Answer

I allow my patients to wear undergarments under the compression garment.  Make sure that the garments do not cut off circulation to your skin.

Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

Yes, it is ok to wear a panty girdle or underwear under your compression garment as long as it does not make the garment too tight so that it cuts off your circulation. Best, Dr. Nazarian
