My doctor doesn't use the lipo foams or ab board. Will it make a difference if I use them post OP or is it personal preference? I am getting my BBL gdone at infinity cosmetics, it costs $10,500. Lipo pads and ab board are not used and I am only required to wear my 1st and 2nd stage garmet for 2 weeks. Normal or not? Also not put under for the procedure, I will be awake under general anesthesia.

Answer: Is it required to use lipo foams and ab/backboard? Post operative protocols will be provided to you by your PS's office; follow that advice! Plastic surgeon preferences for compression garments and length of time to wear differ. For a period of six weeks, my patients typically wear an adjustable garment with multiple bands so that tension can be adjusted and the areas of liposuction are less likely to get a fluid collection.

Answer: Is it required to use lipo foams and ab/backboard? Compression garment protocols and adjunctive therapy like foam pads etc. vary from surgeon to surgeon. Post-operative compression garment therapy is very important in order to achieve the best results. However, if a garment does not fit correctly, unevenly distributes pressure, or is too tight... it may affect and hinder ones overall result. It is always best to review and make sure your garment is adequate by reaching out to your surgeon in order to maximize your result.
