How Long Will I Have to Wear Compression Garment After Smart Lipo?

I generally have my patients wear their garment for the first 2 weeks after surgery. Then I ask them to shop for some tight undergarments that will provide additional compression for another 4 weeks.
Even after the 6 weeks, once you stop wearing the garments, there are going to be good days and bad days as far as the swelling goes. It is not until about 4 months time that the swelling will stop waxing and waning.
Hope that helps.

Compression garments are important
after liposuction because they support the areas that were treated and also
minimize unnecessary swelling, which can be uncomfortable. However, each
surgeon has different recommendations for how long to wear the garment. Your
doctor may develop his or her guideline based on the significance of your
procedure and where on your body it was administered. Generally speaking, after
SmartLipo you'll only need to wear your compression garment for 2 weeks. Your
surgeon will offer you more specific guidelines, however.

How long  does a #CompressionGarment need to be worn to help after #Liposuction? For most, my patients wear garments for 3 wks day and night then 3 additional weeks for half a day.If you have had suction of the knees, thigh, or abdomen, the doctor will have put on a compression garment at the end of the surgery. The extra pressure this garment provides helps reduce swelling and discomfort. You should not remove this garment at all until the second or third day after surgery. After that, feel free to remove the garment temporarily for laundering. We want you to have circumferential pressure for 4-6 weeks, but you may switch to an exercise garment (Lycra or Spandex) whenever it feels comfortable to slip it on or off, as you will have to do so in order to go to the bathroom.
