Compression garment with necrosis? 1 month post-op.

Thank you for your question and photo.  Every surgeon has a different protocol regarding postoperative management of their patients.  Given the fact that you have had a complication with your necrosis this is something that should be directly addressed by your surgeon as you should be following up with him or her closely.

This is unfortunately too common after tummy tuck with liposuction: the liposuction adds inflammation and swelling which increases the complication rate.  At this point all you can do is wait and see how it all settles.  You will likely need a revision for the scar or possibly for removal of deeper tissue if you develop fat necrosis. At this point the garment probably won't help (or hurt).
