How Long would You Recommend Wearing the Compression Garment After Liposuction?
I had my flanks, back, under butt area, and a little fat under the arms done with Smart lypo procedure. How long would you recommend wearing the compression garment? I was told 6-8 weeks with night time up to 6 months.
Compression garment after liposuction
Thanks for the question - Compression garments accomplish goals. They help keep the subcutaneous tunnels created by liposuction collapsed as scar tissue forms. This helps to maintain the improvement in contour. It also helps reduce the swelling in the area which will accelerate healing and create a better result as well. In our San Francisco office we have patients wear garments for 6 weeks. I hope this helps.
