Dear Martina000,compression garments are important to reduce the swelling. But every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery
Thank you for your question. We typically have our patients wear compression garments on the areas we did liposuction to help the skin and underlying tissues re-adhere as well as reduce swelling. Every surgeon will have his/her own preferences as to recovery for specific procedures. I have patients wear Garments open around the butt area to avoid pressure. I suggest you follow your surgeon's plan. Best of luck!
