should I be wearing my compression garment to bed?

Many thanks for your question.
Compression garments are advised to be worn by surgeons in order to try to minimise swelling and help with the reduction of fluid collections (seromas). The duration of time to be worn and number of hours per day is very surgeon dependent and not based on any firm science.
Your suggestion of wearing the band to bed only is not a bad one - some surgeons only advise this in any case as not everyone wears compression garments.
I would advise you discuss this with your operating surgeon, but remember that you have to be live and be comfortable, but also want to balance this with doing everything possible to get the best results for yourself from your surgery.
I wish you luck.

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
