Every PS has a little different post op instructions, so it is always best to contact your PS to make sure you are doing exactly what he/she wants. In my practice I use Design Veronique for my 1st stage garment after liposuction, and I have them wear it for ~4-6 weeks. After that a 2nd stage garment is optional to my patients. I recommend something like Spanx - tight but not too tight and smooth with no seams, hooks or zippers. This can be worn indefinitely.
Best to ONLY ask the operative surgeon, his/her preferences in any postoperative items. The reason is we each have differing preferences to garments and care..
After liposuction, it is important to wear the correct garment type and size to get the results that you and your surgeon were planning for. Generally you need compression over the areas that were liposuctioned but very little pressure or distortion over the breasts (to protect the fat graft). Usually the second stage garments are very similar to the initial postsurgical garment but tend to be slightly more comfortable and easy to get in and out of. Check with your surgeon to see which garment/bra you should be wearing at this point.Hope this helps, and best of luck,Dr. Lim

Every surgeon has a different post op instructions for his or her patients, I recommend you consult this with your PS.
There is no textbook answer here set in stone. The longer you wait, the more likely that your body will have cleared any residual bacteria. If you are still firm and lumpy, you may want to wait longer, and even consider if fat transfer is the way you want to proceed againBest of luck! Dr. S...
There are many myths about fat grafting to the breast. I do a lot of fat grafting and hear them at my office all the time. So let's go over some of them now and try to clear them up:MYTH: Fat will disappear. FACT: The process of fat grafting requires harvest from another site followed by p...
