Liposuction postop garment
I typically ask patients to wear their garments for 6 weeks or so, but every surgeon has a different protocol. Regardless of the time, the goal of the garment is to help the skin settle into its new position and to reduce swelling and bruising, so it's important to follow your surgeon's plan.
