I just had Vazer surgery done to my neck and waistline and stomach. The surgeon told me to wear the compression garments for three days straight then after that just in the night when I sleep. My sister-in-law had laser done and was told to wear her waist garment for six months as often as she can. Is there a stantard to follow? What would be the correct way for me to achieve the best results for my type of surgery?

Answer: Compression garments
I usually recommend patients to wear compression garments for 6 weeks post liposuction. This helps reduce swelling and maintain shape. It is very important to keep the area's that have been liposuctioned compressed as much as possible. Best of luck in your recovery.

Answer: Garments worn post liposuction surgery
Every surgeon is different with their post op directions to their patients so I would follow your surgeon's direction for after surgery. I normally recommend that the compression garment is worn for 4 weeks after liposuction surgery and it may depend on exactly what areas were treated.
Please make sure that you are consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience with this type of procedure and follow his/her directions for post op care.
