Patients do not needto wear compression garments following a CoolSculpting procedure, although manypatients find it more comfortable, especially when the abdomen is treated. In this area, garments seem to help swellingand discomfort, but it won’t affect results either way. I usually recommend patients wear lightcompression shape-wear for 3 – 5 days after treatment.
It is not required to wear compression garment post CoolSculpting but from my own personal experience and from feedback from my patients treated, wearing compression such as spanx helps with the discomfort and swelling. It really will depend on what makes you feel most comfortable. Best of luck!
Compression isnt that effective for coolsculpting. If you want a contouring like effect you should get hi definition VASER liposuction. I have yet to see coolsculpting get the results I do with properly performed liposuction. Best, Dr. Emer.
There normally is not any significant swelling after a CoolSculpting procedure and compression garments are not usually needed. There would be no harm in wearing a compression garment after the procedure though. If there is any swelling after the treatment, this is usually very temporary and should not last for more than a few days.
Thank you for your question. While some patients have found that wearing compression garments can help alleviate some discomfort and swelling, it is not necessary. It really depends on what makes you feel most comfortable. Best of Luck!
