Does anyone know if wearing compression garments, like a girdle, after surgery, will help to reduce sagging skin?

I'm not an expert, but from what I've read compression garments only hold skin in place. Loose skin results from age, genetics, how fast you lost weight, and how much weight you lost and that skin is just tissue and nothing topical or external will affect how much loose skin one gets when weight loss occurs.

I agree with Grady, Age, genetics how fast you loose the weight will play a role. I like bodyshaper as they hold things. Exercise and weight training and lots of protein will help some what but the best treatment for excess skin is plastic surgery.

thanks. I hate tight stuff like pantyhose, and I did not want to wear them if they wouldn't help.

I may order the Sweet Sweat band as it helps you sweat around your waist.

Hey Kristin,

if you want something that will make you sweat without spending to much try Albolene makeup remove this really works. You can apply it on your entire body it does exactly what sweet sweat does without the smell. You can also apply it to your tummy then wrap your tummy with saran wrap. I've been using it for years.
