If you get liposuction of the inner thighs will you need a compression garment for my thigh areas?

Question

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

There is no known benefit of compressive garments after liposuction although most plastic surgeons asked the patient's to use them for about six weeks. The inner thighs or sometimes hard to fit for the proper type of compression so better not to wear a garment all than one that generates improper pressure.

A garment is a good idea after liposuction of the inner thighs.  It will help with the swelling and make you feel more comfortable.

This will vary from surgeon to surgeon.  I
would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is
most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of
these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as
before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

I recommend wearing a compression garment for 6-8 weeks after any type of liposuction. One is provided to the patient at the time of surgery and then 2 weeks after surgery, once the swelling is going down,  I have them switch to a Spanx. You should have good, even pressure for several weeks after this procedure.  You have to be careful it is not digging in or leaving indentations anywhere.  It is always best to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and follow their after care instructions.
