Garment After CoolSculpting
Thank you for your question.
There has been no evidence to show that a garment after CoolSculpting helps... IF you really wanted to wear one, it probably won't hurt either. You are only 3 days out from the procedure... it normally takes a good 2 months to see the results.

Compression garments
There isn't any evidence that supports that wearing a compression garment will help with the results of your treatment. You will see results in 8-12 weeks, so not to worry.

All the best, "Dr. Joe"

Compression garment not necessary
Following a Zeltiq treatment, there is no need to wear a compression garment. Results are typically seen around 8 weeks following the procedure, but in as little as three weeks you will notice a difference in the tissue when it's pinched.
