Best compression garment after calf liposuction? (photo)

A support hose is usually worn for calf and ankles liposuctions postop and 30-40 mm Hg is recommended but 20-30 mm hg can do also.

You should first ask your Plastic Surgeon.  Generally, a garment that goes over the knee and down to the foot with 20-25mm Hg compression is what we use.  You can find them in any surgical supply store (Jobst type etc).Best of luck with your surgery.Dr. T

I appreciate your question.



I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time.



The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.



Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.



Best of luck!
