Had Smart Lipo on my abs and flanks two weeks ago. I'm swollen in the bottom area of my stomach. Am I ruining my healing process by leaving the garment off while washing it?
Answer: Why don't you get a second garment? You should really have a pair of garments. Not only for the ease of washing one while wearing the other, but also because they tend to loosen up over time if worn excessively. No harm in leaving it off while you wash it.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Can I have my compression garment off while washing it? Hello, Thank you for your question. A bit of swelling is typical at this point in your recovery. While it’s fine to take off your compression garments for a couple of hours, I still recommend you have at least two sets. That way, you still have compression and have sufficient time to manually wash and air dry the garment as most will loosen if machine washed/dried. Hope this helps. Best, Dr. Babak Moein

Answer: Garment off for washing Taking a garment off 2 weeks after liposuction for washing is no problem. Using baby powder to replace it can be helpful while putting it back on.

Answer: Compression You should limit your time out of your compression to less than an hour. Swelling at the bottom of the abdomen is not uncommon. Compression and massage therapy is of the utmost importance.DrBurnett#realself100
