Why is it necessary to wear a compression garment after the cellfina procedure?

I recommend wearing compression garments for the first week after the Cellfina procedure. The puncture sites leak lymphatic fluid and blood for one or two days after the procedure. Wearing a garment helps to hold dressings in place. The garment also helps to prevent swelling and edema in the legs after the procedure. This helps to reduce pain and quickens the recovery in most patients. Many women comment that they wear the garments for a week also for comfort. 

Hello and thank you for your question!  The compression garments are very important and will decrease your risks of complications post cellfina.  The garment with decrease the amount of edema, will also act for some minimal pressure at insertion site (minimizing post treatment bleeding) and also improve your circulation.  I hope this information helps you and best of luck to you!

This helps healing dramatically and makes the skin tighten more quickly. I suggest you follow the best post-operative protocol.  Best, Dr. Emer.
