I didn't wear my garments after liposuction. Is it possible that the contouring my doctor did will be damaged?

Your garment helps prevent accumulation of fluid in the areas where fat has been removed. It will also help to decrease swelling, and to conform the skin to its new position, maximizing the cosmetic outcome. It will allow you to see the final result following surgery much sooner. Failure to comply with garment instructions will increase the risk of seroma formation and suboptimal results.I generally advise patients wear their garment 24 hours a day for three weeks, removing it only when bathing or washing it. From 3 to 6 weeks, wear your garment in the day only. It helps with easing swelling and reducing the risk of seroma. The garment should fit snugly but not to the point that you can't breathe or are feeling sore.Indentations and wrinkles are usually temporary and will go away in the weeks and months after your surgery.

DazzleMe,Its hard to tell without examining you but one episode at 3 weeks out most likely will not cause any permanent damage. I would follow up with your plastic surgeon for definitive advice.Congrats on the liposuction and dedication.Dr. Daniel BarrettPlastic and Reconstructive SurgeryBeverly Hills, CA
