Why compression garments are essential?
You will wear an elastic binder, girdle or body stocking over the treated area for the next 2 -4 weeks.You will visit clinic after 72 hours for removal of dressing. You will go home after the procedure and rest for at least 24 hours, after which you may gradually increase your activity as tolerated. You are encouraged to walk. Following surgery, you will wear a snug, tight fitting “girdle” for several weeks. This is to reduce swelling and to help the skin shrink to your new body frame. With Liposuction, there can be some temporary bruising or skin discoloration. This of course will subside.
