I understand the time of needing compression garments varies between a few weeks and up to 6 months between doctors. I also understand there will be a difference in VASER vs standard tumescent lipo, and also the location in the body and amount of work done - but what actually makes "the call" as to when to not needing the garments anymore? Is it no more swelling/no more lumps/no more hard areas? Or is it just a random number according to doctor preference?
Answer: Compression is for swelling About 90% of swelling will be gone by 3 months, the remainder of the swelling (10%) takes up to a year to go away. Many people recommend compression garments for 6 weeks but it just helps with the swelling. Everyone heals at a different rate but if you find that the compression isn't helping much anymore, it's probably fine to remove it.

Answer: Longer the use of garment, better it is. This is a tough question that you asked. The pressure garments (corsets) after liposuction helps the body remodel and take the form in the way we want. As the healing period goes up to one year, the use of the garment use up to one year is not illogical. However, as this garments are not practical to use, we usually give the minimal time that it must be used. So this is the earlı healing period which is 6 weeks. There is no harm that long use of the garment. Longer the garment, better remodelling.
