Is a Compression Garment Needed for Arms and Thighs?

User Avatar

I am having a BBL & TT plus lipo to the whole body including arms and thighs... I was looking to see what do I need for lipo to the arms and thighs? Can I buy normal compression garments the kind that athletes wear for the arms and thighs? Are compression garments for thighs and arms just as important as compression garments for the abdomen and buttocks after surgery?
