I’m very loosely considering liposuction of some sort to my upper arms,flanks, mid/upper back. these areas have been resistant to diet, exercise, and strength training for my entire life. I cannot wear compression garments, I can hardly tolerate spanx or any constrictive clothing.Are any types of lipo possible without requiring post op garment?or is a garment absolutely necessary? what happens if one is not worn?

Answer: Is a compression garment absolutely necessary for lipo, or optional? Hello @SDlivin, thank you for your question. That depends on what your plastic surgeon recommends, because only he knows the surgical technique he applies and the type of equipment he or she use to perform the surgery. It is important to follow the specialist instructions in order to have successful results. Is important that you take into account that inadequate compression can generate more inflammation.

Answer: Compression garment after lipo Hi, thanks for your question. A compression garment is necessary to ensure proper healing. A patient can avoid it, but surgeons suggest it in their regular practice after liposuction. Don't take any risks. Your safety and good results are the most important. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck!
