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

Thank you for the question. I typically ask patients to wear the topifoam pads (sponge padding) for approximately 2 weeks post op. The topifoam pads help to splint the skin holding it in place during the initial healing.If after removal one notices irregularities forming, I ask the patient to continue to wear them for another 2 weeks thereafter. Best wishes.

In my practice there is no need to use  the sponge under the garment , but you need to ask your doctor
