I had smartlipo done on my abdomen and love handles a week ago. By day 3 my compression garment is causing me intense itchiness.. I have eczema. It's not just itchiness but rashes are developing along the outline of the garment as well.
Answer: Smart Lipo Hello and thank you for your question.Wearing a garment post liposuction is essential to the outcome. However, if you are experiencing uncomfortable side effects from a particular garment, perhaps your surgeon could offer a different choice. Give him or her a call to discuss this. Best of luck!

Answer: Alternatives to uncomfortable compression garments I certainly understand your question with the side effects you are experiencing. Compression is a vital component of aftercare for a liposuction treatment, but this certainly doesn’t mean you should continue to wear the garment you currently have if it is causing so much discomfort. I encourage you to contact your physician and share your concerns. There may be a more comfortable garment you can wear to enhance your results without the unpleasant side effects. Good luck to you on a successful recovery and positive results.

Answer: Irritation / Rashes with Compression Garment -- Smart Lipo After Care -- Lymphatic Massage, RF Treatments, ZWave, Cellutone I would suggest following up with your physician to find some way to resolve the issue and improve the itchiness and rashes you're experiencing. Of course, you don't want to miss out on the advantages of your after care protocol.For best results with treatments like Smart Lipo, in addition to compression and lymphatic massage, I recommend adding a combination of radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, truSculpt iD, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with ZWave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. In order to get the best results, a VASER HI DEF procedure is needed to get more contouring and definition. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear joegxrl3, compression garments are used to reduce swelling but if they cause trouble, then they should be avoided. Every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Skin rash from lipo garment? Contact your surgeon. Some fabrics suit sensitive skin better than others. Compression is great to reduce swelling, but not at all costs. There are many fabrics available.
