I have very sensitive skin and I had been getting a rash and funny smell on my stomach from my garment(which I have worn all day/night until past couple of days). I spoke to my PS who stated I need to wear the garment at all times except for showering and didn't seem concerned with rash/smell. I have chosen to take it off at night (only) to let my skin breathe and now the rash/smell is gone. Will only wearing my garment during the day really give me bad results?
Answer: Compression garments Dear Hopeful in OH,compression garments are used in order to reduce swelling and improve healing. Every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Garments aren't about results Temporary swelling occurs after all lipo procedures. Eventually all swelling will go away whether you wear a garment or not. Compression garments are used to control swelling so that it doesn't make you uncomfortable. The longer you wear the garment, the better the effect. However, if you're sensitive to the fabric, you run the risk of causing skin reactions which may mark your skin permanently. For this reason, I would recommend you try a different fabric.

Answer: Do you need compression garments after liposuction? I have not use compression garments in my patients for over 22 years and the results appear to be even Superior to those when the patients wear them. But all doctors are different as their techniques are different also. But I personally believe that after 6 weeks post-operatively you can stop wearing your garments as it will provide you with more comfort on day-to-day basis. Good luck from New York City

Answer: I disagree with your PS i have done almost 900 Smartlipo cases. if you are getting an odor then clearly, you need to stop wearing the garment and air out your skin!!!!!! that is plain commonsense. you may be getting a yeast infection from the garment too. In most cases, if my patient has good skin tone, i only recommend the garment for 5 days. if the skin tone is poor, i may recommend it for 6-12 weeks but I always recommend going several hours with it off, to prevent the problem you are having. if you have decent skin tone, there is no reason to wear it longer than 5-7 days.david berman md
