Purpose of Compression Garment Following Cellulaze
The purpose of using a compression garment following Cellulaze is to help reduce swelling and aid in controlling the final contour after the procedure. Cellulaze may be thought of as a finishing or surface contour treatment. Anything that might help smooth the area after treatment will be beneficial. Though clinical studies may not exist to substantiate this effect, most plastic surgeons with experience in body contouring and Cellulaze agree that compression garments for 3-4...

Compression is important
Compression helps to minimize and reduce the postoperative swelling in the areas of treatment. It also helps to minimize the risk of fluid pockets (ie seromas). In addition, it helps to redrape the skin to help facilitate your final results. Hope this helps.

#Cellulaze post-op care
Cellulaze is FDA approved for removing dimples of cellulite. it uses laser heat to melt the septae and to give your skin a rather smooth appearance. compression garments help to reduce the swelling and help with skin tightening. it is advised that one must follow their surgeon's advice and wear them for as long as it is recommended, as it depends on the areas treated.

What is the purpose of the compression garment after Cellulaze treatment?
The purpose of the compression garment is two fold. It helps to reduce swelling and bruising and it also helps to re-drape the skin over its new contour. It really helps with giving the skin a much smoother appearance post Cellulaze treatment.

Re: compression garment after cellulaze
Although the compression garment should help reduce swelling, there are no controlled studies that i am aware of showing that it actually affects the final outcome. i have my patients only wear the compression garment for 5 days in most cases. that is hardly too much tough for the patient. i am not sure there is any benefit to wearing them longer. i do realize that other surgeons may feel differently but i do not believe there is any data supporting any particular length of time...

Purpose of compression garment after Cellulaze
Thanks for the question. The compression garment is very important after the procedure, not only for swelling, but to aid in the healing of the tissues back together correctly. Since the Cellulaze laser will disrupt the fibrous bands and melt fat, potential spaces that could fill with fluid could be created, called seromas. Persistent ones will require drainage with a needle. Use of the comrpession garment will minimize the risk of developing them. Hope this...

Cellulaze and Compression
Thank you for your question. The compression garment after Cellulaze is designed to help reduce the swelling post surgery and helps to remold the skin for desired contouring. I generally recommend to my patients to wear the compression garment continuously for 2 weeks, and then as often as possible for an additional 4 weeks post procedure.

Compression after Cellulaze
Compression garments after Cellulaze can help prevent swelling and fluid accumulation and speed the resolution of swelling and fluid accumulation if it does occur. Compression garments also help the tissue flatten, smooth, contour and re-adhere after being separated by the procedure. We recommend all of our patients wear compression garments after the procedure.

Compression after cellulaze
Compression therapy helps to minimize the swelling that is expected after cellulazs treatment. It can take 3-6 months to start seeing your final results. I usually recommend my patients to wear compression garment for 3 week and then to wear Spanx for another 2-3 weeks. Both the compression garment and Spanx should be snug around your body and should cover the entire treatment area. If you can wear the garment/Spanx at all times, that would be better; however, you can take...
