Compression garments like Spanx are great after surgery as they help reduce swelling and prevent fluid accumulation. Open crotch garments are not necessary but can be helpful. There are a number of manufacturers that range in price, but Spanx is one of the most popular. Good luck!Dr. Basile
The key is non constricting compression. Spanx does the job well. Figures are so varied there is no way far a surgeon to keep sufficient garments in stock to fit them all. An open crotch is not needed. The use of drains is of little value but if present compression over them can cause damage.
