Removing Girdle After Liposuction

There is no hard and fast rule for this. It is a good idea to wear it as much as possible, especially in the first few weeks, because it will limit the amount of swelling that you have and decrease pain. If you want to remove it for a period of time to shower or even wash the garment, for say an hour or so, It isn't going to cause any problems, except you will start to feel the swelling and have some discomfort, and probably want to put it back on. Have a nice day!

Dear Morena You should follow your doctor's instructions. The traditional teaching was to wear the garment for 6 weeks- only removing for showers etc. Many surgeons have adopted less stringent guidlines - but you contacted your doctor because you trusted them to give you the results you wanted and they are the ones that should be guiding you. With Warmest Regards.
