Can I Use a Compression Garment After Zeltiq?
I just got my lower abs and muffin tops done (zeltiq) and I was wondering if I can use a compression garment to help the fat disolve and keep the skin tight. I know is not necessary as with liposuction but maybe I thought it could help. Thanks

Compression Garment after Coolsculpting
Hi,
You don't need a compression garment after coolsculpting unlike lipo because with lipo you need to wear a compression garment to get the overlying skin to attach to the remaining fat below. With coolsculpting it is a slow gradual reduction in fat that does not cause a gap between your fat and overlying skin. The only reason to wear a compression garment is to reduce some of the symptoms of twinges, cramps, or skin sensitivity after the procedure. Actually it is...

Compression Garment Necessity after Zeltiq
Wonderful question gaby_girrl. A compression garment after Zeltiq will not be able to improve the fat removal process or assist in the tightening of your overlying treated skin. Therefore, it is not necessary to wear a compression garment after receiving Zeltiq. Wishing you the best.

Compression garments are not needed after CoolSculpting
I doubt you would adversely affect the results of the CoolSculpting by wearing a compression garment but there is no evidence that it will help improve the result. You may wish to check with your doctor if there is any reason to avoid wearing it based on how your treatment with Zeltiq went. Compression garments are routinely worn after liposuction because of how they help flatten the tunnels of empty space created by the fat removal and it helps minimize bruising, none of which are needed in...

Garment after CoolSculpting
Thank you for your question.
Although a compression garment will not hurt, I do not think it will significantly help either. With CoolSculpting, the reduction of fat cells is gradual and there is minimal swelling associated with the procedure so you shouldn't need the garment. But.... if you want to wear one, again, it won't hurt.
Best Wishes!

Nope on the Garments
No garment is necessary after Zeltiq. Gentle massaging of the area for 5 minutes after the procedure is all that is necessary.

Are compressions garments necessary after CoolSculpting?
The use of compressions garments are not necessary with CoolSculpting. One of the many nice things about the CoolSculpting procedure is that the post operative management is so minimal. This includes having no downtime, minimal discomfort in most cases, and the lack of need to wear or do anything.

Compression after Coolsculpting
There is no solid evidence that compression garments after coolsculpting have any effect on outome. Thus I would discuss with your surgeon if you decide to do this.
