Girdle and Massage After Cool Sculpting To Reduce Swelling?

A compression garment is not necessary after a CoolSculpting treatment, but can still be worn to provide comfort if desired. Massage may help with swelling, but again neither are necessary or have shown to improve end results.

Gentle massaging helps reduce swelling after Cool Sculpting. Five minutes daily will help these areas heal nicely.  A compression garment can be worn to increase comfort. 

I would recommend massage and a compression garment after Coolsculpting.  It does help to mitigate swelling and discomfort, particularly if the abdominal region was treated.

Although compression garments and massage are not a requirement following Coolsculpting, some patients do find that they can help with reduction of swelling. However, more patients like to wear a compression garment to increase comfort, and in our experience, it is mainly following abdominal cool sculpting that a garment is chosen for comfort. 

We routinely recommend compression garments for liposuction as there is a group of tunnels in the fat that need to compress but this is not the case with CoolSculpting so we don't routinely recommend them, but there is nothing wrong for a patient to try to see if they can obtain comfort. Some patients do develop exquisite sensitivity after coolsculpting not allowing them to wear clothing that applies even just moderate pressure so they certainly wouldn't consider wearing a compression garment.
