Swimming Suit As a Compression Garment After Liposuction
Bathing suits are not designed to provide the compression necessary post surgery.

Swimsuits Never Squeeze
Compressive garments are an important part of the overall result in liposuction. A swimsuit does not have the compressive forces necessary to aid in the management of swelling and final shape.

Garment after Liposuction?
Thank you for the question.
Although it is not possible to give you specific advice without knowing more information, generally speaking, swimming suits will not provide enough compression to be effective. For precise advice you may have to visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area.
