Its OK by Me But Check With Your Surgeon

John P. Stratis, MD answers: Can I have the compression garment off for few hours?

I want to go to a party and I just had Liposuction and a butt lift11 days from the party date. Can I take my garmets off for the party? This will only be for four hours.

You should always direct these questions to your doctor. He is the one who knows you and your surgery.  The purpose of the garment is for support and he may need to have yopu wear it at all times. If it is just to control swelling leaving it off for 4 hrs should be OK.
