Is wrap around foam a good choice after liposuction?

I recommend following up with your Doctor about their protocol regarding compression. I have my patients wear customized compression after their procedure. For liposuction after care, I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your post. The type of foam is up to the discretion of the surgeon or personal preference of the patient. Both options adequately aid in even compression when used underneath the garment. I typically use foam sheets for easier placement. Best of luck!

Hi, 
Thank you for your post. Foam sheets are an excellent addition to your garment after liposuction. The foam really helps prevent and reduce any kind of lines that can form during the healing process. It allows the skin to stay smooth under the garment in areas that would crease without it. I personally like one solid piece of foam but if you can't find a solid sheet, multiple individual sheets will work just fine. Every plastic surgeon has a different preference so just follow whatever your surgeon advises for the best healing.
