After a laser liposuction why do I have to wear a corset?

Question

Ercan Karacaoglu, MD, FEBOPRAS · Answer

Laser liposuction like other fat removal techniques causes swelling and fluid accumulation through the effected area. We have our patients worn compression garments squeeze out the extra fluid and reduce swelling associated with laser liposuction. Mostly we asked to wear around 3 weeks to month.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

I usually have patients wear a compression garment after liposuction.  I am not familiar with patients having to wear a corset.

Vincent D. Lepore, MD (retired) · Answer

Most plastic surgeons will have their liposuction patients wear some type of compression garment for the first few weeks after the procedure.  The compression garment will help reduce swelling and bruising, will make the patient feel more comfortable and secure, and can help shape the final outcome.  Be certain your follow your surgeons instructions on the use of your garment.  Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
