What determines the removal of compression garments?

May 7, 2022
Asked By:Gavmess in Singapore, Singapore

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?
