Stage 2 Liposuction Garment?

Many options exist. Local department stores usually carry Spanx or Flexees; perhaps they make a high waisted brief or girdle that would suit you better.

Lipo In A Box makes comfortable compression and shapewear that my patients have used for their second-stage garments. They do offer at least one high-waisted brief option that you could consider.

I too use Marena garments after liposuction. Both first-stage and second-stage options are available, as well as some shapewear. If you are looking for full abdominal compression without a leg, then the LGA2 or the FBA2 would work well; both have an accessible crotch with hook-and-eye closures in the front. It does not appear that Marena offers a shapewear garment without legs.

And of course there are multiple companies that sell post-surgical compression garments. An internet search should provide you with additional options.

i use marena compression garments.  each style comes in stage 1 - with zippers.  and stage 2 - without.  i'm sure there are plenty of different brands out there.  marena just seems to work for me.  but if you're looking for something stage 2 try them.  good luck!

Each plastic surgeon has their own protocol for wearing compression garments. I have seen colleagues have patient wear compression garments for three months to not wearing any compression garment at all from the time of surgery. I think three weeks is a good compromise, and patients can wear them longer if they like. I personally do not use stage two garments. Stage two garments may provide some feeling of support after the initial stronger compression garment is no longer needed. You should discuss this with your plastic surgeon, since they are the one you trusted to do your surgery.

I think how much compression you depends on the expected degree of skin laxity post lipo.Wearing a spandex type garment is good for support and allowing the skin to compress.Many of my patients like the spandex suits worn by bicycle riders.

i usually have patients wear a liposuction garment for 3-6 weeks after the procedure.  I do not put them in a stage 2 garment.  Spanx are probably ok.
