Men can also ware panty hose or spandex pants. This should be a size you usually wear. Make sure it is firm and conforms to your body. We also ask that you bring this garment with you to one of your office visits before surgery, so that we can be sure it is the right type of garment. In some cases this can be worn as a dressing following surgery.
Men usually ware a Velcro belt for support.
After surgery you will have a dressing in place. This should remain in place until you are seen in the office. Please keep the dressing clean and dry. No showers are allowed until you are seen in the office. The dressing may consist of either a custom tailored dressing consisting of a type of elastic adhesive applied directly to the skin, or a fitted garment resembling a girdle.
