How long does one need to wear the sponge padding under the compression garment after lipo?

I am very strict with my hi definition patients that they need to wear the garment for 4 weeks. they are in a double compression with foam padding under the large body suit.  I suggest you speak to your physician if you have not gotten the appropriate direction. As well, venus legacy or velashape treatments should be done to improve the results. Best, Dr. Emer.

Ask your surgeon as each has his or her specific post op protocol, but typically, you can stop with the sponge padding within 24-48 hours. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Any absorbent pad can be discontinued when drainage from the access points for liposuction close. This is usually within 24 to 48 hours. Specific instruction should come from your own surgeon however.
