Why do some surgeons require garments/fajas and lymphatic massages immediately post op, and others don't?

Each surgeon will have her/his own opinions on many facets of surgery, not just massage and garments.  It is important that you are comfortable and confident in the surgeon you select and the surgical plan created for you.  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon to find out her/his reasoning behind the use of these treatments.

Thanks for your inquiry,  I use compression with binders, girdles, etc routinely after contouring procedures.  There are surgeons who are afraid that if the compression is too much it can cause skin loss by squeezing off the blood supply.  I usually provide and size patient's first set of garments reduce such a risk.  Good Luck.  

Postop instructions may vary from surgeon to surgeon.  Others require garments and massage, while some doctors think that they are nothing but a superfluous practice.  Personally, I recommend the use of compression garments to help remodel the skin after liposuction and keep swelling (edema) to a minimum.Good luck and best wishes.
