Thank you for your question. I have my patients wear a compression garment (faja) covering all treated 24/7 except to shower for 4 weeks post op and recommend them to avoid going to the beach or pool to avoid an infection. Best is to discuss specifically with your operating surgeon about your recovery process.
No, you should be wearing a compression garment to limit edema at least for the first 6 weeks after the procedure.And do not even think to expose your body to the sun while swollen, because you'll get stained permanently.
