Compression garments after liposuction primarily help limit swelling and do not significantly affect the surgical results achieved during the procedure. Any marks or dents from the garments will be temporary.
It's possible that your compression garment is too tight. While it's normal for the garment to provide pressure on the operated tissues, if it's cutting in too much, it can be uncomfortable and may even impair circulation. It would be best to contact your plastic surgeon to discuss the specifics of your situation. They may suggest switching to a slightly larger garment for this stage of your recovery and then returning to your current one afterward. Your surgeon will have the best knowledge and guidance in this matter. I hope this information helps, and I wish you good luck.
To prevent dents or irregularities, it is recommended to wear a foam vest under your garments. Best wishes from Dr. Emer.
Garments worn after liposuction are designed to be tight to prevent swelling, but if there are deep dents and marks, the garment may be too tight. Swelling following surgery can contribute to this issue, and a consultation with the surgeon is advised.
Is your garment too tight? It might be necessary to wear a looser garment. It is best to consult with your doctor to ensure proper fit and comfort. Good luck.
