If I wear my garment for 4 weeks 24/7, will I become swollen when I quit wearing it? Any suggestions on how to avoid swelling after I take my garment off?
Answer: Post-Op Swelling Thank you for your question. Swelling varies between patients, but typically you will notice a slight swelling after discontinuing your compression garment. I tell my patients a lighter compression garment like a Spanx or even active-wear with spandex may help control the swelling from 4-8 weeks while it's more comfortable than the post op compression garments.Thanks!

Answer: Compression after liposuction Thank you for your question. We don't have any conclusive data that wearing a compression garment after liposuction will make any difference in final outcome appearances, although it does seem to help in the initial phases of healing. I have had patients tell me, even after a month, that they can tell when they do not wear the garment in terms of their waist line. Your surgeon will help you with these instructions. Best wishes.
