Asked By:Cool433586 in Muju, South Korea

I am going in for liposuction on flanks & thighs for fatgrafting to breasts next month. The hospital said I will start wearing the compression garment the day after surgery. The reason being: "Tumescent fluid has to leak out after surgery, so it should be applied the day after". I am a little confused and wondering how others doctors recommend their patients to wear their compression garments post op from liposuction. Is it normal to start wearing it more than 24h after surgery?
