When am I supposed to use the lipo foam boards?

We use foam immediately after liposuction and continue this for 3 weeks. I suggest you see an expert to determine what is best.  Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your excellent question.  The use of foam boards is surgeon specific and there is no conclusive evidence of their benefit. I do think they help when a portion of your compression garment may not be as tight as others when multiple parts of the body are addressed.  Talk to your surgeon and voice your concerns, they are in the best position to advise you.

Hello,  thank you for your question.   The use of foam made out of silicone after lipo is a useful device these days.  It helps to reduce the incidence of seromas,  protects your skin from getting damaged because of the compressive garment pressure and helps to give a more uniform pressure to the site of surgery.   You should start using it the next day after surgery day.  Have a great day.
