I am 2 weeks post op from a lbl/brachio and I have not had any swelling in my legs at all. Only swelling I have had is in my abdomen and mons. I have not worn any compression garments at all on my legs or feet aside from the pneumatic compression machine they had on me in the hospital to prevent blood clots.

I will be 4 weeks post LBL tomorrow, and had swelling in my lower extremities for about a week post-op. I'm assuming it was due to the massive amount of fluids everyone receives in the operating room and in the hospital(I'm a nurse and know what goes on in the OR). I wore the compression garment my surgeon fitted me for which went from the bottom of my breasts to right above my knees.
my lowere extremities swelled so i bought TED stocking form the thigh to the foot and I also had knee high that I wore with my compression garment that went to the knee, I bought my compression garments from
www.marenagroup.com, i have one that goes to the knee and one that goes midcalf

I did not need them after my LBL....I just wore the full length compression garment. BUT after my Inner Thigh surgery a few weeks ago I needed to add compression hose to my outfit (I wear them under my compression garment).
You can buy them on line or at your local medical/surgical supply store (check your yellow pages...the old fashioned way)

My surgeon put me in teds + the compression garment that went below my knees - it had a side zip, don't know what kind. After that, I used the capri length Walmart one that was great- but they don't seem to carry it anymore - after that I did find a capri length smoother at the Bali store that's good, too. But as far as compression socks, Teds are the only ones I know about.
