You : You will not need a compression garment unless liposuction also performed on the lower extremities at same time... Best of luck to you.

Yes,: Usually a thigh lift is performed in conjunction with liposuction and because of this you will be required to use a compression garment. I recommend at least 2 weeks, but if possible a month. Best to you.

Compression Garment: Hello. A compression garment is necessary to allow your body to adjust to its new shape after the procedure. You can expect to wear a compression garment for the first couple weeks, after which its use can be reduced at the discretion of your surgeon.
