Compression tights /leggings

Hi

i had a DIEP last week (10th) thinking about using compression leggings as wound a bit irregular. Has anyone any experience with these ? My Daughter used them after her section.

Also any experience with different scar treatments?

I will post about some useful tips regarding DIEP procedure soon.

Bit knackered at the mo …but each day and improvement.

Thanks Heather

Morning Heather 

Hope you are recovering well after your surgery.  I had DIEP on 7 August and I must say I have recovered well .  Going back to see plastic surgeon on Wednesday so fingers crossed they feel the same 

I have never had experience of compression leggings , I hope they worked for you .  I felt supported enough initially with the tuba bandage and big pants with some support .  With regards wound care , I only started using bio oil last week .  So far so good 

I hope you are happy with the surgery results and wish you a speedy recovery
