How long can you leave your garment off a day after lipo and BBL?

There is little to no scientific research on the benefits of compression garments after liposuction. The protocols are across the spectrum on how long to use these and can range anywhere from a few days to six months. My practice is almost entirely devoted to body sculpting using liposuction and fat transfer. I put less emphasis on compression garments than most. I typically have my patients wear them for one week continuously, taking them off to shower only. During the second week, they can wear them 12 hours on and 12 hours off. After the second week, they can wear them if they find them comforting. It's always best to do what your plastic surgeon recommends.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.

It is best to keep your garment on as much as possible for the entire period of time recommended by your PS. It is fine to remove the garment to shower, and for very short periods of time, but for the majority of the day the garment should be worn.
