How Long Must Compression Garments Be Worn After Liposuction?
After your liposuction surgery in Jaipur, one of the most critical parts of your recovery is the correct use of your compression garment. This isn’t an optional accessory; it’s an essential piece of tight, elastic clothing that I will apply immediately after your procedure.
Their use is mandatory for optimising your healing and ensuring the best final aesthetic result.
Mandatory Use of a pressure garment after Liposuction Accelerates Swelling Reduction
The primary purpose of the garment is to apply constant, even pressure to the treated areas. This pressure is vital for managing the most common side effects of your surgery.
- Reduces Swelling and Bruising: The pressure helps your body reabsorb fluid and minimizes bruising.
- Prevents Fluid Buildup (Seromas): It significantly reduces the risk of seromas—temporary pockets of fluid—from forming under the skin.
- Controls Bleeding: The garment keeps firm pressure on the small blood vessels to stop any potential bleeding right after the procedure.
Garments Ensure Smooth Skin Contraction
Beyond just managing swelling, the compression garment plays a vital role in shaping your final, smooth contour.
After I remove the fat, your skin needs to adapt and contract smoothly to your new, slimmer body shape. The garment supports the skin and essentially “molds” it to this new contour. This constant support is crucial for reducing the likelihood of contour irregularities or loose skin, which is one of the main risks of liposuction surgery.
This is especially important for patients whose skin elasticity is a concern—a key factor in determining who is the ideal candidate for liposuction .
Surgeon Mandates Multi-Week Constant Wear
So, for how long is the recovery time in these garments? The specific duration will be determined by me, based on the extent of your procedure and how you are healing. However, you must be prepared for a multi-week commitment.
- Typical Duration: Garments are worn constantly for several weeks. The standard duration is typically between several weeks and up to two months (8 weeks).
- Constant Wear: You must wear the garment 24/7, only taking it off when you shower.
- Adherence is Key: You must adhere to my specific, individualised instructions on the wear schedule. This is a critical part of your healing process.
Your Commitment to Your Result
Meticulously following these compression garment instructions is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your liposuction surgery is a success. It protects your investment and helps me deliver the smooth, sculpted contour we planned.
