Can you use any sort of foam as lipo foam?

Question

I cannot find anywhere that I can buy lipo foam for cheap but i have a lipo board that I bought for under the garmet. I was told that you can use any sort of foam as long as it is soft. Is that true ? I need help seriously

Yily De Los Santos, MD · Answer

The Lipo foam is not something really necessary, as long as your garment provides you with enough compression and it can be taken in as it becomes bigger to you when the swelling goes down. Now, if you do need the foam you can use it on your back, I recommend, and wear a t-shirt underneath your garment to protect your skin. Also, make sure the material of the foam you will use doesn't heat your skin so much, and try to be under fresh temperatures. I hope this answer was helpful.

Hello. Thank you for your question. We know there are different devices on the market that are used after lipo to protect the skin and make greater pressure below the garment . The ideal is to get one of these as they are made of a material that is very noble for your skin. In cases that do not have these devices i recommend the use  of soft cloth below the garment. My best wishes.

The majority of plastic surgeons do not use foam underneath the compression garments.There's no evidence that this has any impact on long-term outcome.You need to check with your plastic surgeon to see what he or she recommends.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.
