How long do I have to wear compression stockings after abdominal lipo?

I have performed well over 2,000 abdominal liposuction procedures and have never used compression stockings.  I do not even know of any Plastic Surgeons who use them.  My recommendation is an abdominal compression garment for 24 hours a day for two weeks then 12 hours a day for two weeks along with immediate ambulation.  With this technique excellent results can be provided, and I have never had a deep vein thrombosis (I assume that is why your doctor has required you to use the stockings)

hello tummyforme   Patients are usually instructed to wear elastic compression garments after the surgery, the period of time will be advised by the doctor. #abdomen #post-op

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent procedure. I recommend wearing a compression garment for 6 weeks following liposuction. Marena makes quality post operative support garments. You should also follow your plastic surgeon's advice regarding level of physical activity and use of a compression garment. Hope this helps!
