What is the purpose of elastic compression garments?
The body does not like empty spaces. Compression will help close the space that was once occupied by fat. Compression garments can help prevent bruising, swelling and seromas (collection of blood and fluids). With Dr. Franks technique compression is only necessary for a few days to a week or two (depending on the patient). Traditional liposuction generally requires several weeks of compression and or the use of surgical drains.
