So I've been using the Marena compression garment x small. And it's loose I've had it for 5 days. I'm looking to see if anybody can recommend a better garment? My waist size went from a 30 to a 27 in the last few weeks and I really want my lower abdomen to stay the way it is.

I went from a size large to now a size small Marena thong, I've stayed at a size small for about a month even after multiple washes its fits well. After a couple of weeks I had to keep going down sizes but I think it was just my swelling going down. The stage 2 it now made to be very compressive. It should fit snug or fitted. It is less compressive than the stage 1 and is more comfortable. I would suggest adding a waist clincher or squeem on top of your stage 2 if you want more compression as they are more firmer & less stretchy.

Developed an infection

Sr9210February 7, 2014
Just my luck ! I ordered a smaller compression garment. And I've been wearing it with panty liners and now I have what looks and feels like a yeast infection. (Based on past experience and google). The garment is pretty tight so it's only to be expected. I'm taking monistat until Monday when I can see a doctor. And I will be either asking my doctor for pills to prevent yeast infections or loading myself up with cranberry juice cuz I really hate this :((((( By the way I feel awesome after the massage!!

Massage time

Sr9210February 7, 2014
My first after lipo massage was painful in certain areas. The areas where it was hurting I had extra liquid. Then after she used her hands she used a machine that suctions your skin that was painful too. My instructions are now to drink a lot of water so everything can pass through. Also she recommended using vitamin E capsules on the area. She told me I might only need 2 sessions so I'm going to my next session next week.

Hey hunny, happy healing! I don't mean to sound stupid. ..but what did you get stitches for...I've been reading quite a few reviews and I haven't heard anyone mention stitches  after a bbl.

I got one stitch anywhere the doctor took fat out and put in. I have two in the front in the lower part of the abdomen. 2 in my flanks. And 3 in my buttock area.

Maybe to help close the incision, that's what my doctor used as well when I had lipo done. But your right many girls don't mention it when they get the bbl, I think it's optional for the doctor
