What Kind Of Underwear After Lipo?

Dana Goldberg, MD · Answer

You want to wear whatever underwear is comfortable and doesn't "cut into" your skin or swelling and leave divots or depressions. This is to help make sure the skin and tissues are smooth as they heal. This is most important for the first 2-3 weeks. A thong could be fine as long as it fits comfortably, so you may have to wear a larger one for a short while after surgery.

I usually have patients wear a compression garment for 3-6 weeks. Underwear over that is fine for my patients and it could be anything that they like.

Jose Luis Acosta Collado, MD · Answer

after liposuction is advisable to use a compression garment to help reduce swelling and seroma, and  to contour the figure, below of which we  recommend wearing white cotton T-shirt to protect your skin from possible irritation or burns by compressive girdle.

Peter E. Johnson, MD · Answer

Most surgeons will place you in a compression garment that zips up the sides, and you can wear any kind of underwear that you like, under or over, depending on the design of the garment. After two weeks, we recommend the use of a Spanx because they are widely available, and any underwear you like should be fine. Comfort is all, and if the thong is your thing, go for it.
