Recovering from Liposuction Surgery

Liposuction Abdominal Binder

Liposuction Abdominal Binder

If you are planning to have liposuction, you’ll need to think about buying a recovery garment to wear immediately after your liposuction surgery and for several weeks thereafter. The purpose of these post-surgical garments is to decrease swelling, increase circulation, and reduce plastic surgery recovery time.

The key to choosing a liposuction compression garment for liposuction surgery is to find one that offers support, but is also comfortable. Among your garment options are abdominal binders, girdles, and body shapers.

Abdominal binders are generally used after liposuction of the abdomen, and are designed for both female liposuction and male liposuction. Since abdominal binders only cover the abdominal region, they can be easily hidden under clothing, and may be the most comfortable choice for liposuction recovery during the hot summer months.

Girdles and body shapers come in many shapes, and are worn following liposuction of the hip, thigh, buttocks, or abdomen. Mid-calf girdles or mid-calf body shapers may be a good option if you are planning to wear skirts or dresses following your liposuction procedure. Ankle-length girdles or ankle-length body shapers may be a more comfortable option if you prefer to wear pants, and can serve as an extra source of warmth during the winter.

Plastic surgery recovery garments are typically worn continuously for several weeks, so it is a good idea to have more than one on hand.
