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: Compression Compression is useful after surgery in supporting tissues as they heal as well as managing swelling. Each surgeon has her/his opinion and will advise if you can consider surgery without it. Massage is often recommended, but would be even more important if you do not use compression.

Answer: Liposuction Garments Thanks for your question. I tend to believe that a good compression garment really helps the outcome of the surgery. The intention of the garment should be to compress areas of lipo. I think its very important that the garment is used everyday and only removed when needed to shower for up to 8 weeks. Some surgeons don't believe them, but my patients have been very satisfied with how the garments helps the outcome. Hope this helps. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

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: Liposuction Garments are necessary for comfort, to control the swelling and prevent excess swelling, and to help the skin to shrink. You won't get the best results with no garments.
