Hi there! My surgery is approaching, and my doctor has advised me to use an ab board and foams after my liposuction for a month. I'm curious if I need to wear them at night as well. Some people say yes, while others say no. I'm wondering why wearing them at night might be considered a bad thing.
The duration of wearing a circumferential lipo foam and compression garments will depend on your individual progress and the resolution of swelling. In general, patients are advised to wear a circumferential lipo foam for two weeks or until the drains are removed. Compression therapy is continued for an additional month, 24 hours a day, after drain removal. The requirement may then transition to 12 hours on and 12 hours off for an additional six weeks. However, individual recommendations may vary, so it is best to follow your surgeon's specific instructions.
Both the tablets and foams contribute to shaping your body, and the longer you use them, the better the results you will achieve.
Reduction of an overinflated buttock may require lipo reduction and specialized taping techniques. Fees and the availability of qualified plastic surgeons may vary.
Wearing foam 24/7 after surgery is recommended to prevent folds and irregularities in the skin. The use of foams or boards can be discontinued once there is no more edema.
