Emmanuel De La Cruz, MD · Answer

Hello netty66,

Congratulations on your recent VASER Liposuction procedure! Plastic surgeons have different post-operative protocols, customized for each patient to achieve the best results. Typically, I suggest my patients obtaining their specialized compression garments (2 of them) prior to their VASER Liposuction so that they won’t have to worry about getting them after the procedure. Patients are required to wear their compression garments around the clock (except for showering), for approximately 6 months. The skin retraction and swelling after surgery typically would occur up to six months. In order to have uniform skin retraction during that six months, I recommend wearing the garments up to that time. These specialized garments will help enhance the results of VASER Liposuction and prevent inflammation. Since ill-fitting garments can lead to contour irregularities, I advise my patients about the correct method of using them, to limit folds and creases in the garments, and regularly check if they are worn properly. Since every case is different, consult with your plastic surgeon about your specific needs and concerns. Best wishes! Dr. De La Cruz.
