Do you wear a support or compression garment on your arms after liposuction?

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.
