I am planning to get lipo360 and a bbl. I am an actress so I want a natural result. I'm not very big & only 2 liters of fat will be removed. My surgeon said I have to wear a garment for 2 months and recommended not sitting for 2 weeks. That is doable for me, but I am very concerned about wearing foams and ab boards constantly. I plan on following all post op care+ 10 massages, but I have read that results can be altered or cause dents if I don't wearing board or foam during my recovery?
Answer: Any Type of Compression The foam boards are not absolutely necessary in recovery. You will need a tight postoperative garment to ensure that your skin remains tight, but the actual abdominal boards are extraneous and are not necessary unless you are not wearing proper compression. I would caution against the postoperative massages until at least 6 weeks postop or until cleared by your surgeon, as these can cause infection and other problems when performed on immediate postoperative incisions. I would also make sure that your surgeon is board certified in plastic surgery to ensure the safety of the recommended procedure.

Answer: Liposuction/BBL- can the results be altered if I don't wear the ab board/foam during recovery? Hello @Keeetz, thank you for your question. I suggest you ask the specialist that will perform surgery, because the compression garment depends of multiple things among other the doctor's surgical technique and the type of equipment used to perform the surgery. According to the clinical criteria is the level of compression of the girdle and foams or ab board. Is important that you take into account that inadequate compression can generate more inflammation.

Answer: Liposuction/BBL- can the results be altered if I don't wear the ab board/foam during recovery? Thank you for posting your question. Ab boards and foam will help decrease swelling and will make your post op process go smoother. You will definitely see results faster when using these. But I do not feel that they alter results unless there is excessive swelling. In some cases excessive swelling can lead to more fibrosis and this in turn can can lead to irregularities under the skin.

Answer: Foam boards Thanks so much for reaching out. I feel like those accessories really decrease swelling quicker but shouldn’t have much effect on your final result. Massages on the other hand and important to make your result as smooth as possible. I hope this helps :)
