The more reading I do of physician sites and reviews, the more I've noticed that there are major differences in compression guidelines post-op: some do a compression garment schedule for 6 weeks but some offices opt to limit their use or not even use at all, stating that it can increase the risk of blood clots. I'm just surprised at the inconsistency: does the American Board of Plastic Surgery not have specific recommendations on compression garments post-op? Is it just doctor preference?

Answer: Compression garments The use and duration of compression garments are up to the individual surgeon. In my practice, we use compression garments for atleast 6-8 weeks after surgery.
