Compression garments for arms after lipo?

June 15, 2016
Asked By:MomofThreeinVA in Washington, DC

I've read differing opinions from doctors re: how long to wear compression garments for my arms after lipo, with some doctors not even recommending them. Would appreciate some thoughts. My procedure was 4 weeks ago; for past few days, I've been wearing my arm garments 8-10 hours every other day. Are they still doing anything if I am not wearing them more consistently? I think my arms look "skinnier" right after I take them off, but that may just be my mind playing tricks on me! Thank you!
