I am having liposuction on my arms, would this be OK for compression or too much?

I have not had liposuction so I am not qualified to answer for that condition. However, these are not a strong compression so they would probably be alright. Be sure to measure your arm at the largest part and order them with that measurement in mind. Blessings to you!

As a RN that works in oncology, I would not recommend this. You shouldn't have anything that compresses your arm when you have a PICC line. (We don't take blood pressure readings on the same arm as a PICC line for that reason.) I would definitely check with your MD before you try these.

You can wear it under shirts as long as they are not snug. Works fine under baggy sweatshirts, etc. When wearing compression-wear, you can wear it right over it. As far as when training with it during arm workout, it works fine, I just don't use it much in the gym. I use it primarily playing tennis and working around the house when my arm tendons bothers me.

Well, since the skin is very sensitive under the arms, I would say "yes" but with CAUTION. Do not go too fast or hard because you will bruise. I do this only on my legs and even my legs get bruised. However, it does wonders and really reduces the appearance of cellulite. If you have severe cellulite, I suggest doing it twice a day for 10 minutes each time but only for a week. Stop for one week and repeat. If you plan to use it on your arms, I would do 5 minutes at a time and maybe only twice a week as a start. Maybe even less, it will hurt at first, especially your arms but like I said, it is worth it. I hope this helps.

I think it would have plenty of support, but if they are too tight I find they cut circulation off to your hands. I use them for heavy dumbells and unwrap them when I am done a set for that reason. You may consider the shorter ones which would not be as tight

I would not use this sleeve for weight lifting. I do weight lifting and you need a lot more support than this offers. This sleeve is more decorative than anything else. Look the reviews ... a lot of them are from parents who bought it for their high school student kids. I have gone over to Tommy Copper sleeves.

Absolutely not. I'm 5'2" 115lbs and it was cutting my circulation. Plus I didn't wear gloves when I was putting it on and my knuckles skin burnt off. A week later they haven't healed yet. I think I'm going to take the pantyhose back. It's too thick and uncomfortable. I had once bought great ones that looked like regular hose, but had great compression. Will look for them instead.

I don't know the reason about why you need this arm compression for. But, my sister needed this product because she has arm lymphedema from cancer surgery. So, this arm compression promotes lymphatic flow by moving fluid in the proper direction as well as treatment of swelling of the arm. My sister use this product everyday, and it really helps her arm from swelling.

Yes it should be fine. Depending on how much arm movement you will have you may have to readjust it once or twice throughout the day, it bunches up at the gym when working out but under a shirt it should be fine. Ps if you have around 15" biceps, GET THE LARGE. the medium was super tight to the point it got annoying after about 30 mins and my fingers started tingling

how can you adjust the lower portion, how long should it be worn so that the pain under the arm pit can be tolerated?

You can use for your arms and legs. But I found its function inadequate. I returned it.

Glases for me are no problems. However, I have thing arms though a heaver arm should still be fine.

Well, it depends on what your doing and how much you sweat. I get hot and perspire. I don't think I've worn my compression thigh high and sweat really bad. I do know that water will remove that adhesive from my leg. It would also depend on what compression you wear. I wear 30 to 40. It does make me hot. Best advice. Just get it and try. Hope this helps. If you sweat a little, I se no problem.

You should be fine, however, this does seem a bit extreme for jogging wear.

It is very comfortable. It did compress quite a bit within a relatively short time after I began using it. I am a relatively small build, and it still gives me more than enough cushioning. I can't say how well it would hold up with someone obese, but I think it would be OK. good luck.

You should be sized by your doctor. That way you are sure to get the correct size, as well as the right amount of compression. If there is too much compression, it can be really painful.

These have great compressive abilities, but I did not feel any significant thermal impact when I wore it. It does keep warm, but it was not noticeable enough for me to consider it that type of tight. Have you considered the SKINS S400/200 Women's Thermal Compression Long Tights ?
