How Long Do You Recommend Wearing the Compression Garment After Liposuction?
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 East Bay practice we have patients wear garments for 6 weeks.
Clinical Context
Liposuction removes fat and leaves small channels beneath the skin. Compression garments apply gentle, even pressure that reduces swelling and helps the skin re-adhere smoothly to the tissue below as it heals. This support limits fluid buildup, reduces bruising, and helps the skin settle evenly into its new contour while healing tissue matures. Wearing the garment as directed improves comfort and helps produce a smoother, more consistent final result.
