How Long Should I Wear my Neck Compression Garment After Vaser Lipo?

hello allymarie29  Patients are usually instructed to wear elastic compression garments after the surgery, the period of time will be advised by the doctor. #compression #swelling

If you've already booked a procedure these questions would be best directed to the plastic surgeon you've chosen to perform the surgery. I will typically tell patients to wear a neck or chin compression garment 24/7 for the first week and every evening for the next 3-4 weeks. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACSWeber Facial Plastic Surgery

It is unreasonable to expect to have "seven" areas of liposuction treatment and return to work in 4 days. You need to give your body time to heal. In my practice, there is a mandatory 7 days off work during which time you return to our office for daily post-lipo care. You need to drain and heal. The neck treated with VASER will often take longer to heal and fully recover with no visible swelling or bruising. Frequently, the neck take 10-14 days to heal. The compression will not speed up this process.  I would advise having this discussion with your surgeon with whom you've had a personal consultation and discussion of realistic expectations of outcome and recovery course.
