I had my flanks, back, under butt area, and a little fat under the arms done with Smart lypo. How long do you recommend wearing the compression garment? I was told 6-8 weeks with night time up to 6 months.

Answer: Compression after Liposuction Hello! Recommendations for compression differ depending on body region, modality of lipo and surgeon. Typically with surgical liposuction - SAL, PAL, UAL (vaser) - I recommend compression for at least 6 weeks during the day and removal of everything for sleep. The risk lies in garments leading to indentations in the tissue treated. Compression protects against this as well as reducing swelling. You should always run these questions by your surgeon who will give you the most tailored advice.

Answer: Compression treatment after liposuction Thank you very much for this relevant question. Regarding the post operative compression treatment The available information on the Internet is confusing because every doctor has a different regime. My patients are wearing the compression garment for 24/7 during the first three weeks. Afterwards they will be wearing them during the day. Parallel they will have regular lymph drainage massage to keep the swelling down. Have a wonderful rest of the day and greetings from the beautiful island of Jamaica.

Answer: Compressive garment after liposuction Hi, thanks for your question. In my practice. I recommend 6 weeks compressive garment usage. For first 2-3 weeks I recommend 24 wearing of compressive garment. For other 3-4 weeks ,I prefer more tight garment. Because 3 weeks after the operation ,edema in the liposuction area decreases so generally patients needs more tight one.
