Compression stockings after tummy tuck, knee-high, what gradient is best?

October 4, 2014
Asked By:Matea2 in Utah

At my preop, I was advised to get Jobst knee-high compression stockings 10-20 mmHg. These are almost impossible to find. Would 15-20 mmHg be ok? How long are these to be worn after surgery? Thanks for your time.
