Im getting a Lipo BBL surgery wanted to know how long do you wear foam sheets under your garment for after getting surgery
Answer: Garments Thank you for your question! For my patients, I recommend they wear the foam underneath the garment we provide for the first 3 weeks post surgery, 24/7, then an additional 3 weeks at night only. I recommend discussing specific post op questions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Answer: How long must you wear the foam sheets under garment after surgery ? Post operative protocols will be provided to you by your PS's office; follow that advice! Plastic surgeon preferences for compression garments and length of time to wear differ. For a period of six weeks, my patients typically wear adjustable garments with multiple bands so that tension can be adjusted and the areas of liposuction are less likely to get a fluid collection.

Answer: How long must you wear the foam sheets under garment after surgery ? Thanks for your question. The amount of time varies with the surgeon. The original descriptions from Euope suggested 3 months of compression. Most American Plastic Surgeons recommend 4 weeks but I personally modify these suggestions and have patients wear the garments two weeks full time and then during the day for 4 additional weeks for a total of 6 weeks. The results are uniform and skin contours smooth with minimal inconvenience. However, you should probably discuss this with a board certified plastic surgeon when you see him or her in consultation. Hope this helps.
