It has been a year..and I have since went back and had my abdominals done wish I would of done them together.
I think it works but be prepared for a few dimples in the skin once all the swelling is gone..can take 6 months but most gone in 30 days ..not bad enough to make me not have it again..I wore the compression garment for a month and then on an off for another when I slept...I had my procedure at noon and went home by 4pm needed a driver for sure and best to have someone spend the night if you live alone ..next day your just tired..no real soreness mild..never took pain pills they gave me..My doc was the best

It's been about a year... just wondering if you're still happy with your results? How did your recovery go?

You mentioned you're loopy that night. What time of day did you have your procedure? And were you happy with your provider?

you should wear it the longer the better unless you have no swelling. I had Slimlipo done 2 weeks ago and had a lot of swelling so i'm still wearing the compression garment. The main use is to reduce swelling. My garment is not bulking and actually feels better when I wear it.
