Regarding your compression garments post tummy tuck and liposuction, we opt for the garments to be snug. Postoperative garments should be snug but not too tight; if they are too tight, they can actually compress the tissues so hard that they don’t get appropriate blood flow. Also, it is important to note, it needs to be made sure there are no crinkles/wrinkles in the garment that can cause chaffing/indents.
