Wearing compression garments after liposuction is important because it helps the healing process. ... The different types of compression garments can also come customized with drainage tubes, which is when compression garments after liposuction are most often needed, in order to help push excess fluid out of the body."Using compression shapewear after liposuction procedure is of the crucial importance in the recovery process. The various types of compression shapewear can also come with drainage tubes, which is when compression shapewear after liposuction are most often needed, in order to help push excess fluid out of the body.

The Fist Stage of Post-Operative Recovery

After the liposuction procedure the fluid needs to be expelled and the surgeon won't be able to get all of it during the surgery. Certain amount will have to be drained out afterward. This phase is known as the “First Stage” of post-surgery recovery and that's where compression shapewear comes in place. After the surgery, there is certain amount of swelling and bruising and post-surgical garments can assist with these problems as well. This is where the open drainage process comes in and why the use of the post-operative compression shapewear is so efficient. If the fluid from a tumescent process is left in the body it will increase the issues of bruising and swelling.

With an open drainage process using the post-surgery compression garments you will successfully squeeze this fluid out. Most of this is complete within the first day of the surgery and this will increase the recovery time. The more fluid that can be drained the less bruising and swelling you will experience, and therefore, you will have a shorter recovery time as well.

The Second Stage of Post-Operative Recovery

Being too compressed for too long isn't good practice either. After certain period, and once the drainage has ceased after your surgery, you need to take off the first stage shapewear garments (for effective healing start wearing a second stage shapewear as soon as you are done with the first stage shapewear) this lets your body to return to using its regular lymphatic functioning.
