Smart Lipo
Does Compression Garment After Smart Lipo Help?
Compression garments help to reduce the size of the dead spaces created by the removal of fat during the liposuctuon process. They also reduce swelling and fluid accumulation in the tissue, as well as minimizing bruishing and helping the skin shrink to your new body shape.
Clinical Context
After liposuction, the treated area needs time to drain and heal evenly. If fluid collects in the space where fat was removed, it can form firm lumps or an uneven contour that takes longer to resolve. Larger treatment areas and looser skin are more prone to this, since there's more room for fluid to pool and less elasticity to help tissue settle. Wearing your garment consistently, staying active as advised, and staying hydrated all support smoother, more even healing.
