How long should you wear a compression garment after liposuction?

Dear pennyjoanne,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, MHA, MS

Thank you for your question. You should always discuss your post-op protocol with your surgeon and follow his or her instructions. With my patients, I usually try to encourage compression for 6-8 weeks after surgery. Hope this helps!
