TYPES OF POST-LIPOSUCTION COMPRESSION GARMENTS

What is liposuction?
This is a procedure for removing fat tissue from obese patients with a suction - pump device.
It is used mainly to reduce or remove fat localised in areas such as around the face, breast,
legs, abdomen, and upper arms where there's contractile skin that is able to 're drape' back
once the procedure is done. It is also called 'suction lipectomy.'
This procedure is usually carried out by a specialist plastic surgeon .

What are post-liposuction compression garments?

These are specialsed adjunct pieces of cloth that are meant to be worn for a peroid of time
following liposuction.
Essentially an extra set of garments is required by the patient in order to have a clean change
each day.
These are tailored for compression of the body part that underwent suction lipectomy.
They must be worn continuously 24 hours a day for seven days a week for the first 3 weeks.
Remove them when bathing only.
First stage of recovery is during the first week after liposuction and the second stage of
recovery is in the subsequent 2 weeks post liposuction.
Garments approved for medical use are easier to wear and utilise during the first stage of
recovery. Notably they are reputed to be stronger support girdles than non-medical
compression garments.
During the second phase of recovery, patients can wear the garment half a day (12 hours) as
allowed by their plastic surgeon.
In the following weeks patients can wear non-medical compression garments such as
pantyhose or no garment at all.
Majority of patients are prone to insecurity and low self esteem and may inadvertently wear
compression garments for longer periods. At least until they can comfortably walk around
without one.
