I have a compression garment on after abdominal liposuction. I have noted that on some parts (specially midsection of the abdoment) my skin is folding, specially when I seat. Am not sure if this is entirely the compression grament's fault. Will this disapper or do I need to wear something else to make this fold go away?

Answer: Garments after Lipo There are many different forms of liposuction garment and when a patient is especially uncomfortable, I encourage him or her to use a different brand. Regarding compression in general, this is one of those questions that does not have an absolute answer. Each surgeon approaches it differently. As a result, it is reasonable to assume that there is some wiggle room. Nonetheless, I think the best answer in individual cases like this will come from the plastic surgeon who performed your procedure. Give him or her a call and allow them the first opportunity to use their knowledge of you and your procedure to get you the best answer.Best,Dr. Pyle
