I am three and a half weeks post op of a tt, lipo and bbl. What would happen if I stop wearing the compression garment now? I would rather wear spanx.
Answer: Compression garment is uncomfortable Compression garments do not change your overall outcome from surgery, but they do greatly reduce the amount and length of post-op swelling. I would defer to your surgeon's advise, but in my practice, I am comfortable with patients switching to Spanx after 4 weeks.

Answer: Post Op Garments Garments are often a necessary burden when you are recovering from cosmetic surgery procedures. They help control swelling, support muscles and maintain implants in their appropriate position.Often 4 weeks is the recommended minimum but in specific cases some garments can be necessary for 6 weeks or more.I would definitely contact your plastic surgical team. Likely you are almost finished with your garments. Best not to risk your result when you are so close to the end!Take care.Dr Nodwell

Answer: Uncomfortable compression garment? Thank you for sharing your question. Compression garments are recommended by surgeons to limit tissue swelling during recovery. This affords patients improved comfort. I would speak to your surgeon about your concerns, at 3.5 weeks you may be a good candidate to transition to a thinner garment such as Spanx.
