How long to wear compression garment post liposuction abdomen and flanks?

Thank you for your question. Though they do not affect your long-term surgical results, compression garments do help limit post-liposuction swelling which helps minimize your discomfort.  Each surgeon has their respective protocol for garment wear, and I tend to recommend 4-6 weeks for most patients. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.  In my practice, I recommend that my patients wear a compression garment for four weeks following a liposuction procedure.  I have patients wear the compression garment for the first four weeks following their surgery to help reduce the amount of post-op swelling that the patient experiences.  I also find that patients tend to be a little more comfortable with longer wear of the compression garment.  With that said, every surgeon has their own preference and post-op protocols (including compression garment use) so I would defer to your operating surgeons recommendation.  I hope you find this helpful and best of luck on your recovery!
