I wear my compression garment all day until bed time but I still wear the compression wrap that the doctor gave me the day of surgery to bed because it's more comfortable for me to sleep in. Is this ok???
Answer: Compression Garment After Liposuction This is something you should discuss with your surgeon. For my patients, I want them to wear their compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks depending on how they are healing, it is to control swelling and promote skin contraction. Good luck.

Answer: Compression Garment Use Thanks for your question. Recommendation for compression garment use varies from surgeon to surgeon and may be different for different patients and procedures. I generally recommend that patients wear their garments both day and night for at least a few weeks, but if the garment is causing any rubbing or irritation, changing it up for a binder or another alternative makes sense to avoid damage to skin. Discuss with your surgeon so that the advice you get is tailored to your individual situation. Good luck!

Answer: Compression garments Dear 'Saythat',Thanks for the question. There is no problem with wearing a compression garment too long. Every surgeon has their own thoughts and post op instructions on this. Most patients feel more secure in the garments and wear them 23 hours a day for the first few weeks. After that, it is really up to you. With BBL procedures, many of us have patients wear the garment for a full 30 days.Good luck with your continued healing.Dr T
