Hello, I am approx 3 weeks post of for abdo lipo. The PS gave me the go-ahead to wear my garment 12 hrs a day. I don't like how I feel when I take it off. Specifically, my back hurts and my skin is so sensitive that it makes all tops uncomfortable. Is this normal? Is it Concerning for any reason?
Answer: Post Liposuction Irregularities, Swelling -- Try Massage, Exilis Ultra/Cellutone or Venus Legacy With Your Compression You can wear your garment as long as you feel comfortable, I say the longer they are worn the better the outcome and faster the swelling resolves. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Garment after liposuction Most patients have a love-hate relationship with their garment. Initially it may seem bothersome, but I find that many patients like wearing their garment beyond the early weeks, long after most of the initial swelling has subsided because it's comforting to wear it. I doubt your surgeon will object to your wearing of the garment for a longer period. You may want to consider wearing an off-the-shelf support garment, such as a Spanx or other brand for the comfort it gives you while your treated areas are recovering. Remember, it takes many months for those areas to recover fully.

Answer: Post liposuction garment utilization Your experience mirrors my patients post lipo experience. I tell my patients that there is an initial innate contempt of their garment and they conspire to burn it as soon as they are "released" from their bondage. But that loss of support and the"gitters" they experience without the garment makes them crawl back to the garment like going back to an old boyfriend! This sounds very normal and in my experience you will need to wean yourself off of your garment. I recommend transitioning into Spankx. Of course you need to continue close follow up with your surgeon and follow their recommendations. They are familiar with your case. Best wishes
