Mb101. It is helpful to wear compression garment for your arms after Liposuction, but caution must be observed because sometimes it can cause swelling of the hands. If this occurs, the garment should be removed for periods of time. However best to get full instructions from your board-certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck.
Thank you fo ryour 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.
Hello, thanks for sharing your query. Compression garment after liposuction help reduce seroma formation, swelling and also helps in skin contraction which overall improves recovery and results. The duration and type of garment depends upon the surgeon. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon.
I would ask your plastic surgeon about garments and the duration of wear, because each plastic surgeon will a different protocol. I usually provide compression garments to my patients which cover all of the areas liposuctioned.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Yes I do recommend a custom compression garment after arm liposuction, for about 3 weeks along with light massage in the shower
Not everyone uses compression garments.Best to ask your surgeon what he prefers. Good luck...........
I supply all of my liposuction patients with compression garments. Because these should be worn after arm liposuction for several weeks, winter/early spring is the best time to undergo the procedure.
All PS vary in their post op care plan, but I do recommend that all of my patients wear compression in the areas of liposuction for 4-6 weeks after surgery. They help to cut down on post op swelling and chance of seroma. Also, if you have any component of loose skin the compression can help to lay that back down.
Thank you for asking about your liposuction.I am sorry to hear of your concerns.I do not consider it normal for your legs to hurt after liposuction of the chest.It may be from the position during surgery, but regardless, please call your surgeon without delay and relay your concerns. On-line ...
The pain you're experiencing is unlikely to be a result of your liposuction. You should schedule an appointment with your primary doctor to determine the cause.
While epidural anesthesia may be appropriate for procedures on the trunk, it is not commonly done for elective cosmetic surgery of the abdomen and flanks. Part of this is that there are risks with epidural injection/instrumentation that may not be warranted for elective cosmetic surgery, even if...
