I got liposuction done for my hips and thighs and arms 15 days ago. I wore the compression garment for only 6 days since it was v uncomfortable. I don't seem to see much difference in the areas I got the surgery done. In fact on measuring it is the same. Is it because of not wearing the garment? Would it make a difference if I wore the garment now?
I plan to get inner thigh lipo and arm lipo and transfer the fat to the buttocks. I do not want to wear a full compression garment since I'm not getting lipo 360. I know there are arm compression garments, but is there compression garment for inner thighs? Would I just wear tight leggings? I only plan to get 100cc-150cc taken out from each thigh.
I am scheduled to have a facelift in October along with lipo to uppper/lower abs, bra roll and hips. I plan to take off work for 2 weeks. My question is this, as I prepare for going back to work, will I need clothing that is loose fitting, i.e. larger than what I normally wear due to swelling/compression garments?
I am getting lipo and afat transfer to the breasts in 2 weeks. During my pre-op, my doctor said that I wouldnt be receiving my compression garment until my post op appointment, one week after surgery. He said he doesnt recommend compression during the first week as I will be sore. He also made remarks that compression doesnt really do anything. This worries me as I have read otherwise. He is a trusted doctor of over 15 years with successful lipo patients but I am not sure what to think
I had an abdominal liposuction fat transferred to breasts. I found the compression garment to be very inconvenient (although there's a hole in the vagina area). Is a girdle without the panty part, or a open bust corset/waist cincher good enough? I don't see any reason why my compression garment needs the panty as I did not performed anything below the lower waist.
About 4 or 5 days after surgery I did not wear my garment at nite while I was sleeping for 5 nites. It was hurting too bad so I was not getting much sleep. But I did put in on in the am and kept it all day until bed. I am wondering if it has effected any of my results not wearing it 5 nites a few days after surgery. I noticed there is cellulite on the back of my thighs, lump on the left outer thigh and lump on the inner thigh. Also is that still just part of the swelling?
I wear my compression garment daily and had lipo on my thighs and knees. How would I be able to tell if I had an infection? What would cause an infection? Sometimes it hurt to walk, a tad bit of burning at times and I am 1 week post op. So now my skin looks like it went from black bruising to red. Ive called my surgeon so I am going in to have him take a look. I had general anesthesia as well.
