Hi Resourceful308770. Thanks for your question. 
Yes, after arm liposuction you will also needs to compress your arm for at least 1 month PO. My recommendation it will be to get a arms sleeves with brazier. Especially the sleeves that reach a little below your elbow or if they reach the wrists much better

Good luck in your procedure!

In some cases the elastic garments used in patients that have a combination of abdominal and arm lipo are ONE PIECE (arms and Abdomen). In my opinion you should ask your plastic surgeon assistant before the procedure, in order to check if it's a one piece or you have to add the elastic sleeves. Hope this is helpful.

Him, thanks for your question. Compression is a good idea after arm lipo. Anyway, it depends on your procedure and your condition. Ask your doctor and follow the instructions for the best recovery. Good luck!

Dear Resourceful308770,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

Certainly, for any liposuction procedure, compression is essential. Wearing compression garments after liposuction can aid in reducing swelling and trauma. It's recommended to use the compression faja garment for one month following surgery.
