Liposuction Recovery Using Compression Garments or Spanx?

Thank you for your question. It is advised that a compression garment be worn for 6 weeks after surgery. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination.

Thanks for your question. I  have my liposuction patients wear a compression garment (faja) covering all treated 24/7 except to shower for 4 weeks post op.  This helps ontrol swelling as the compression on your tissues helps your body to reabsorb the edema fluid that accumulates in the tissues after any procedure. This can take quite some time to happen without help from the compression garments.  It also helps improve  contour.  Compression helps to keep the tissues adherent to the underlying structures while healing, this can help prevent the wrinkled skin appearance that can happen when the tissues heal in ways we don't want them to.

Hi, circumferential pressure (garment) is usually
recommended for 4-6 weeks to aid with results and healing. But yes, some change to exercise garment such as Lycra or Spandex beyond that time
frame. It varies between patients and will depend on you and your doctor's preference with consideration to your comfort and current needs. It is best to consult your plastic
surgeon regarding your aftercare that best fit your case. Best of
luck!#RealSelf100
