What is a good garment to buy for wearing right after liposuction?

Thank you for your inquiry regarding post-liposuction garments. It’s indeed surprising that your surgeon and the surgical center didn’t provide or recommend any post-operative garments, as wearing a suitable compression garment is essential for optimal recovery.

For post-liposuction recovery, brands like Marena, Veronique, and Contour are well-regarded in the plastic surgery field. These companies produce high-quality, medical-grade compression garments designed to provide adequate support and help reduce swelling post-surgery.
It’s crucial to wear the compression garment consistently for at least six weeks post-operation. If swelling persists beyond this period, it's advisable to continue wearing the garment, potentially in a smaller size as the swelling subsides.
I hope this information assists you in finding a suitable garment to aid your recovery after liposuction. Best wishes on your healing journey!

Your surgeon should be able to guide you with appropriate compression manufacturers based on the planned procedure. Typically if you are truly having full body liposuction you will need a body suit that covers your arms, torso and legs. Some patients prefer to buy more than one so that one can be worn while laundering the other. Be sure to ask your surgeon about post op massage as well.

Dear Brave6854,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.
