thigh lift pain
My compression garment had an opening at the crotch so the areas that were open were right there. I just used tape to hold the gauze in place and it worked fine. I believe taped the top and bottom of the gauze in place to keep the edges from catching and coming loose. That was the only place that I had an opening. I didn't always keep them covered but my surgeon told me that was the best as he saw me on a day when I didn't have them covered.
I had some open spots on my arms last time. I wore the compression garment over the top of dry gauze and the compression garment kept the gauze in place. Truly, if it weren't for the compression garment I would have never survived the arms!
