Well, I think compression garments are important for two levels. One is comfort and the other is outcome. I think after something like liposuction where you have a certain amount of looseness in the skin, the compression to help get things to coalesce into the right area and get the right shape, I think is very important. After something like a tummy tuck, we probably have people in compression garments from the abdomen for the longest period of time for that, because it's a comfort issue. It allows them to be up and doing more and doing more sooner with less discomfort.
