Please help me find the correct compression garment for after my armpit fat liposuction

Question

I'm having liposuction done on my underarm fat area that sticks out the sides of my bra, front and back. I'm having trouble finding an appropriate compression garment for after surgery. I need adequate compression in the armpit area but would like shorter sleeves than if I was having liposuction to my arms. All compression garments seem to have longer sleeves (at least to the elbow). Thanks for your suggestions!

we have all our garments custom made for our patients.  your physician should be able to measure you and find a company that fits your needs.  Part of our pre-op protocols is to have our patients fit and secured with garments.  they are very important for the post procedural swelling and contouring.  If not try the link below.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. Typically, the surgeon or office staff will fit the patient with the right sized garment. As part of our surgical package, we offer garments to all of our patients. I suggest asking your surgeon about the garments. These garments will be helpful in the post-surgical, recovery period.
