Compression has been a non-negotiable for my lipedema surgery recovery… but I had to find what actually worked for my body. The standard thigh garment (with the slit) was a no for me… it rubbed my incisions, so I switched to Bestster and never looked back. For my arms, I came home with ace bandages. Tried my pre-op arm garment but it irritated my underarms. Around 2 weeks post-op I switched to tubular bandages… way more comfortable. Now I rotate daily: • Fanka (my fave but $$$) • Spanx (love that they pass as leggings) • Slimove (budget-friendly) Scar care: • Tape at 2 weeks once fully closed with thighs • Gel at 4 weeks • Just starting tape on my arms now that my underarms finally closed . Y’all know…there’s no cure for lipedema… compression is a lifestyle now. Sharing what’s been working for me 🖤 lipedema LTKActive LTKfitnessgoals LTKselfcare
