Post-liposuction compression is important

Felix Kuo, MD answers: Will not wearing garment after Liposuction ruin results?

I had Liposuction for banana rolls 10 days ago and can no longer tolerate the girdle. If I go without it will it just prolong the eventual outcome of the lipo or will it ruin it?

With liposuction, not only is fat being removed, there is a lot of trauma to the subdermal or subcutaneous layer of skin.  During the healing process, fibrosis results in skin contraction.  The compression garment helps to ensure maximum skin contraction and that the skin heals evenly, without unwanted folds or creases.  I recommend compression for all my patients.
