How long do I need to wear spanx? Do I really have to avoid Ibuprofen for 6 weeks?

After this procedure, you don't have to wear anything, but for the patients comfort, you can wear a compression garment or spanx for a week or so.  You can apply ice and take motrin afterwards to aid in the relief of swelling and soreness.  It takes 3 months to see your final result, but you will begin to notice a fat reduction sooner than that, just not your final result.

You don't need to wear spanx- but it can help with the discomfort you may feel afterwords.  Common side effects after treatment include numbness, soreness, itching and aching.  Spanx, heat or applying ice can help patients with these side effects.  You do not need to avoid Ibuprofen- but you can minimize your risk for bruising by avoiding Ibuprofen or Aspirin two weeks prior to treatment.
