I received Liposuction to abdomen and flanks, so far i am very happy with the results except for the lumpy feeling, i keep massaging to try and create some movement. After 2 weeks i stopped wearing my garment because the foam caused a skin irritation/huge rash + it keeps leaving dents. Can i stop the use of my garment as long as i keep massaging and keep a good posture?
Answer: No compression garment after Liposuction? Hi, in the healing process using a compression garment is a must. Its function is to reduce excessive swelling. It also helps to reduce bruising and provides the patient abdominal support preventing any complication such as seroma. My recommendation for you is to discuss this with your plastic surgeon so he/she can help to resolve your concern. Be safe.

Answer: No compression garment after Liposuction? I would ask your plastic surgeon about garments and the duration of wear, because each plastic surgeon will have a different protocol. The patients who tend to have healing issues with larger volume liposuction procedures tend to be the ones who do not wear the compression garments at all, wear them very inconsistently, or do not wear them snugly covering all areas of liposuction.

Answer: Compression Garment Question-Ask Your Doctor & After care includes RF treatments (Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra) Cellutone/zwave I recommend following up with your Doctor about their protocol regarding compression. I have my patients wear compression for 3-6 weeks straight then overnight for 3-6 months after their procedure. For liposuction after care, I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: No compression garment after Liposuction? Best to ask your surgeon but in many cases, 2 weeks is enough. You can ask about trying a different garment also.
