Hello

I just had surgery performed on June 11th, I took the opportunity to have my lower abs and flanks lypo'd as well since I was going to be down and out.

The surgical center has provided me with 2 pieces of compression garments...

1) The normal sports bra type
2) A compression belt similar to weight lifters

Also, I was "packed" with two pieces of foam used on chest and abdomen to help smoothen and flatten the tissue per the doctor.

I ordered a new garment from Design Veronique as linked below as it was suggested to be a Stage 1 garment:

But, the issue I face is that even though I got the smallest size, I seem to be able to get better, firmer compression with the ones that my surgery center gave me.

The biggest issue I have with the DV garment is the fact that I have to take it off to use the restroom sitting down, if you know what I mean.

So, is there a better upper body garment that does not have a lower piece?

I find a lot of vests and belts, but no full piece garments without the shorts part. I was hoping to find an extended vest till the abdominal  line, possibly?

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!
