Compression Garments (again)
...and I'm freaking out a little.
I just got the most incredible opportunity to have pretty extensive plastics with a great surgeon in Mexico. I am buying my own compression garments however, and am not quite sure what to get. I am having: breast-lift without augmentation, Brazilian butt-lift, and liposculpture of the love handles, abdomen, and back possibly with abdominal muscle-tightening. And I am having this all at once, so the recovery will be rough. What the heck do I get to wear?! All of the full-body compression garments seem to also compress the buttocks, and I'm not supposed to compress that, right? Suggestions?

Dr Sauceda supplies two sets of compression garments, so she's probably not going with him. I'm glad he does supply them because it would be difficult to have to purchase them on your own prior to surgery.

When I had my breast reconstruction, I wore a very heavy sports-bra with a band above the breast area. When I had my tummy tuck w/ muscle repair, I wore a garment from Veronique. It had cut outs on the bottom so my new "fanny implants" did not move around and my TTw/MR was in the compression garment. However, you are having a Brazilian Butt-Lift so you too may want to bottom cut-out as well. Be sure to call the office of the surgeon and they can refer you for the use of the compression garments you are looking for. Good luck, sweetie!
