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?
Answer: Swiss Cheese The quick response is YES, not wearing the compression garment after Liposuction can thoroughly ruin your results. Why? Visualize your fatty layer before surgery like a block of cheese. Liposuction removes fat in straw-like tunnels leaving the 'cheese' fenestrated and honey combed like Swiss cheese. Failure to compress these areas will allow the tunnels to flood with fluid which quickly turns to scar tissue. This would leave you looking like no fat was removed. Worse, the scar tissue would remain stiff and bulky and is not easy to fix.My patients wear their garment for 6 weeks! Your compliance with this is as important as your surgeon's skill.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Will Stop Wearing Garment After Liposuction Ruin Results? Thank you for your question. I have my liposuction patients wear a compression garment (faja) covering all treated 24/7 except to shower for 4 weeks post op. This helps ontrol swelling as the compression on your tissues helps your body to reabsorb the edema fluid that accumulates in the tissues after any procedure. This can take quite some time to happen without help from the compression garments. It also helps improve contour. Compression helps to keep the tissues adherent to the underlying structures while healing, this can help prevent the wrinkled skin appearance that can happen when the tissues heal in ways we don't want them to.

Answer: Will Stop Wearing Garment After Liposuction Ruin Results? Hello dear!! Thanks for the question and provided information as well. Their use is very necessary. I suggest my patients to use a full body compression garment, 24/7 for the first 3 months, and after that, for 12 hours a day for 3 more months, to get the best results. It is important for the compression garment to be very tight, for it to help with the swelling, after surgery. If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon. Good luck :)

Answer: Compression garments and liposuction There is a no universal accepted answer regarding compression garments. We know that wearing a compression garment immediately after the procedure can help control the early swelling. Stopping the use of your compression garment 10 days after the procedure will not "ruin" your results. I do recommend a garment for the first 2 weeks as the skin is healing down to the underlying tissues and a garment will prevent shearing forces between the muscle and skin. As always though, your surgeon's answer is the best answer for you so I would encourage checking with them.
