Question: What is the purpose of compression garments after body contouring surgery?
Answer: Compression garments are specially-designed elastic garments which are commonly worn during the recovery period after body contouring procedures like liposuction, abdominoplasty, arm lift, and other procedures. They serve many purposes: they help to support the newly contoured area, reduce swelling and accelerate the healing process, decrease the risk of blood clots, and can even minimize discomfort. Compression garments should be specially fitted to the individual patient.
