Where does everyone get their compression garments from?

My surgeon, I woke up with it on. Then after a period of time I bought these

Why did you have to buy them? I thought once you left the hospital, you didn't have to wear them

They told me to wear the binder they are going to give me for a week and then compression garment for 3 weeks. Every surgeon is different. Some don't have you wear one at all!

My surgeon ordered me one and I have to wear it for 2 weeks.

For optimal results and to reduce swelling after a TT/panni, 3-6 months of compression is recommended. I went with the 6 months, as I was lucky enough to have insurance cover it and went through so much to get the body I want, that I wanted the BEST possible outcome. Six months, in the scheme of things, is really a drop in the bucket. It also is more comfortable, as the muscles heal.

The doctor has not mentioned this to me, but I will call his office to find out. I also misunderstood what compression garments you guys were talking about. I wasn't thinking of Spanks type garments. The only compression items I've ever had to wear were those that they put on your legs in the hospital. Thanks for the information.

My doctor told me to wear a binder for 2 weeks for both my abdominoplasty and my posterior body lift and that he did not require compression garments. I however love compression garments because they make you feel exponentially more secure, especially while you are sleeping. I bought the Marena brand on Amazon. I have 3..two are L, one is a M, and the two larges I must have worn and washed 100+ times each and they are both still in perfect condition. In theory you don't need a compression garment, but in practice, I was really really glad I had ordered mine before surgery. I wore one while the other was in the laundry and kept them on almost 24/7 for about 3 weeks. I broke them out again at about 6 weeks when I had swelling after one surgery. They initially feel a bit like they are turning you into a sausage, but they also make you feel safer somehow as well.
