I would ask your plastic surgeon about garments and the duration of wear, because each plastic surgeon will have a different protocol. The patients who tend to have healing issues with larger volume liposuction procedures tend to be the ones who do not wear the compression garments at all, wear them very inconsistently, or do not wear them snugly covering all areas of liposuction. Our office provides our TT/lipo patients with an ADJUSTABLE compression garment manufactured by Clear Point. The patients like the support it provides to the back and to the abdomen. The only complaint I have heard is related to the "itchiness" of the fabric which can be remedied by wearing a soft t-shirt under the garment.
Dear lledet09,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, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Hello dear!!Thanks for the question and provided information as well.Every doctor has their preferences in regards to compression garments. I suggest my patients use a full body compression garment (that closes with clips), 24/7 for the first 3 months, and after that, for 12 hours a day for 3 more months, to get the best results.It is important for the compression garment to be very tight, for it to help with the swelling, after surgery, and to use it with a cotton t-shirt underneath to avoid garment burns. Please, follow up close with your plastic surgeon.Good luck :)
It is best to ask your PS when you can wear a waist trainer etc. They can create permanent irregularities or indentations if worn to soon after surgery.
You just have to be careful in the early acute postoperative period with compression garments that have rigidity similar to the concept behind avoiding jeans and stiff clothing as they can create permanent contour deformities. I would wait at least six weeks
Personally I do not believe compression garments alter the results from body contouring procedures.I suggest talking to your surgeon if you have had surgery or are planning to have surgery.As a general statement you can wear compression anytime you would like.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
From your photos, it appears you will need a BBL with a tummy tuck to look "snatched". You have loose skin over your abdomen and muscle separation, and liposuction cannot fix these things.
Corticosteroids affect your immune system and your ability to fight infection. I will not perform a BBL on a patient who is actively taking steroids. If you are put on a dose pack or short term treatment, make sure you share this with your PS. You need to have them all of the way out of your ...
