Is It Safe to Remove Compression Garment for a Short Time?

Does a Compression Garment help after Liposuction? yes it speeds the final result and may help help the skin retract better. There is no problem removing it to clean it or take a shower (ask your doctor when you can first do this).If you have had suction of the knees, thigh, or abdomen, the doctor will have put on a compression garment at the end of the surgery. The extra pressure this garment provides helps reduce swelling and discomfort. You should not remove this garment at all until the second or third day after surgery. After that, feel free to remove the garment temporarily for laundering. We want you to have circumferential pressure for 4-6 weeks, but you may switch to an exercise garment (Lycra or Spandex) whenever it feels comfortable to slip it on or off, as you will have to do so in order to go to the bathroom.

It should be fine to take off your garment to wash it, but make sure you put it back on after it's been washed.
