How soon will I be able to wear shorts or a bathing suit after my cellulaze procedure? My doctor has told me that I will need to wear the compression garment for one week, then spanx for four weeks. How many hours a day is it necessary to wear the spanx? And do they need to cover the entire treatment area?
Answer: Cellulaze Recovery Patients can have bruising from 4-6 weeks following Cellulaze treatment. I generally ask my patients to wear compression for 2 weeks around the clock, and then for 2 additional weeks at night only. It's best if the compression (spanx works great) covers the entire treatment area.It takes about 3 months to see results from Cellulaze. Be patient. I provide lymphatic/therapeutic massage for all of my cellulaze patients beginning at 2 weeks post procedure. This helps to reduce swelling and discomfort.

Answer: Compression Garments After Laser Cellulite Treatment Compression garments are a frequent area of concern for patients after surgery. Compression helps to decrease bruising in the early postop period, it helps to decrease swelling postop, and helps to keep you comfortable as you return to normal activities. There is not magic number for how much time in compression is required as compression has not be scientifically proven to affect the final aesthetic outcome. My suggestion is to follow your doctor's advice for now and to have a more in depth discussion with him/her regarding your concerns about wearing it for the recommended time. Tell him/her how it affects your life and ask for suggestions on how to improve your experience. All the best.

Answer: Cellulaze recovery
I ask patients to wear compression around the clock for 3 weeks. After that, you may resume normal activity, but you might find that you still have periodic swelling and therefore benefit from wearing Spanx or compression on and off for a another few weeks. Usually by 1 month, patients can tolerate massage, which I believe is beneficial. The entire treated area needs to be covered - you cannot have bands of clothing, Spanx or compression garments cutting right through the middle of the treated areas.

Answer: Cellulaze treatment for cellulite reduction requires that you wear a compression garment for 6-8 weeks.
After a Cellulaze treatment of the buttock and or thighs it is best to wear a compression garment like spanx, compression shorts, or tight yoga pants for 2 weeks except when showering and for 4 more weeks when walking and sitting. I recommend that patients wear compression shorts for months after the procedure while exercising. I restrict full exercise for two wekks after the procedure.

Answer: Cellulaze Recovery There is minimal recovery following Cellulaze anti-cellulite treatments. Patients may experience some bruising and discomfort. In addition, small amounts of fluid may leak from the incision sites. However, work and most other normal activities can typically be resumed within a day or two of treatment. A compression garment may need to be worn for a period of time, three weeks, and strenuous activities and exercise should be postponed for one to two weeks. The garment should cover the entire treatment area.
