getting ready to have thigh lift with large volume lipo done the end of may.  I don't know what size ,or what kind of compression garment.  Dr had said spanks but don't know what size. They are so had to get up and down cant even think of that with a big scares going up my inner thighs. Any help would be greatly welcomed.

I used a compression garment from the marena group. I ordered the size that was smaller than my current size since there was also large volume lipo done. I bought the ones with zippers on the sides it made it easier to pull up. To be honest, I felt more comfortable with them on. The fit like a glove and I didn't feel that I had to worry about splitting my incision or hurting myself. It should be snug but should feel good on. I had one that rode down while wearing it. I ordered the next size down and it fit better. Once it was on, I felt comfortable and could almost forget I had the incisions.

My surgeon supplied two sets of www.designveronique.com garments.  There would be no way I could have gotten into Spanx after my thigh lift with extensive Lipo.  I had a lot of swelling and the garments were tough getting on, but they zipped on both ends and that helped immensely.  I purchased two more on www.marenagroup.com   I truly believe the excellent compression of these garments kept my incisions closed and prevented me from getting any wound openings.  Wound openings are a risk of Thigh lifts.

My Dr don't supply them at all.  Do I want the long ones or are the short ones ok.  Do they zip just on the out side s? so new to this wish my Dr gave me more information. Thnaks for your input.

for me the long ones worked the best with the Extended Thigh Lift.  You can get the ones that go to midcalf if you want and that is fine, but my lower calves would swell by the end of the day - are you having the full extended thigh lift with Lipo?  that is what I had and the full garment really kept the swelling down.

the ones I bought zipped on each side, made getting them on and off very easy ALSO the crotch is open so that you can go potty without taking it off and on.
