I got my compression garments today tired one on and it gave a big old muffin top. I am having my thigh lift with large volume lipo. Should it be like that? or should I get bigger size? it fits great every where else but the muffin top I just don't know what to do with it. What should I do send it back and get a bigger one? Help I am clue less

If it fit your thighs, I wouldn't order anything larger.  Mine fit snug and caused somewhat of a muffin top as well.  You will lose some of the volume with the lift and lipo but will swell from the surgery.  You want it to be snug so that it protects your incisions and controls the swelling.

it is very tight in the thigh area and that is where my work is going to be done. I know it needs to be tight but it is crazy what it looks like.  I could not go out looking like this at all.  I can barely get it snapped and myself  just so worried.

Cindy, which garment did you get?  A full body one?  Or one that just goes to the waist?  If you're getting it for the thighs only, I would say, keep it if it fits your thighs in a snug manner.

I hate not having enough information I wish they just had them and put the one I needed on me after the surgery.  I just hope I didn't make a mistake by sending them back.  I have not sent them yet maybe I will wait til the others get here and see if it makes a difference  With the swelling are you bigger then before the surgery? how long is it like that.  I have heard that you can't sit down is this true? you are either laying or standing for two weeks? Do you have to have any rehab after this to get stretched out to get range of motion back I forgot to ask this. Thanks for your help

I would use the one you have, but that is me. I had read lots of horror stories were people were saying sitting was such an issue but I had no problems with that tightness. Perhaps it depends on the surgeon so maybe that is a question for him/her.
