Arm lift and compression garments: should I be wearing one to keep the swelling down? (Photo)

Asked By:scontos47 in San Diego, CA

I just had an arm lift procedure and my plastic surgeon does not believe in compression garments and I only have paper bandages on the incisions. My arms have swelled only slightly and are somewhat black and blue. But other than that everything seems fine so far only four days out I’m concerned about the lack of compression garments to keep the swelling down and why he choose not to use them.
