Will Stop Wearing Garment After Liposuction Ruin Results?

The quick response is YES, not wearing the compression garment after Liposuction can thoroughly ruin your results. Why? Visualize your fatty layer before surgery like a block of cheese. Liposuction removes fat in straw-like tunnels leaving the 'cheese' fenestrated and honey combed like Swiss cheese. Failure to compress these areas will allow the tunnels to flood with fluid which quickly turns to scar tissue. This would leave you looking like no fat was removed. Worse, the scar tissue would remain stiff and bulky and is not easy to fix.My patients wear their garment for 6 weeks! Your compliance with this is as important as your surgeon's skill.

While not having the compression on this early after surgery will not ruin the results, compression really does help.  Try to find a garment you can tolerate.

It really is not that it is harmful not to wear the garments, what you can do is try a larger size than what you are wearing . I recommend to my patients to wear them at least the first 3 weeks ıt helps to minimize swelling and help with even flattening of the skin. 
good luck

Thank you for your question. I  have my liposuction patients wear a compression garment (faja) covering all treated 24/7 except to shower for 4 weeks post op.  This helps ontrol swelling as the compression on your tissues helps your body to reabsorb the edema fluid that accumulates in the tissues after any procedure. This can take quite some time to happen without help from the compression garments.  It also helps improve  contour.  Compression helps to keep the tissues adherent to the underlying structures while healing, this can help prevent the wrinkled skin appearance that can happen when the tissues heal in ways we don't want them to.

Thank you for your question.  I typically recommend patients to wear a compression garment for 4 weeks after surgery.  It is to help bring down the swelling a lot quicker.  Although I do not feel it will harm your results, I would suggest that you follow up with your surgeon and follow his or her instructions and address your concerns.  Best of luck to you. 

There is a no universal accepted answer regarding compression garments. We know that wearing a compression garment immediately after the procedure can help control the early swelling. Stopping the use of your compression garment 10 days after the procedure will not "ruin" your results. I do recommend a garment for the first 2 weeks as the skin is healing down to the underlying tissues and a garment will prevent shearing forces between the muscle and skin. As always though, your surgeon's answer is the best answer for you so I would encourage checking with them.
