I been wearing the knee high stockings i got the day of my surgery now for 3weeks now so I would like to know when can I stop wearing them
Answer: Knee High Stockings Can Go after a few Days Knee-high stockings are used to prevent blood clots in elective surgery. Breast augmentation is a procedure which is very low risk for blood clots. Many plastic surgeons, including me, use them as a simple, safe and economical way to compress the calves during surgery. In my opinion, I believe that normal walking replaces the need for the stockings. Once you are moving normally again I usually recommend that you discontinue them, usually in the first week.

Answer: Compression stockings Compression stockings are helpful in preventing blood clots. Moving around regularly after surgery is another way to prevent blood clots from forming. As opinions vary, it is best if you check with your surgeon to determine when the stockings are no longer necessary.

Answer: Compression Stockings In our practice we have our patients remove these once they start walking around regularly. You should check with your surgeon if there is any reason he wants you wearing them longer.

Answer: Compressive hose after breast augmentation. Instructions about the use of compressive hose after breast augmentation should come only from your surgeon. In my opinion there is no need for these prophylactic devices in an uncomplicated breast augmentation.
