After losing a substantial amount of weight, your next step may be body contouring treatments in New Jersey. Before your contouring procedure, your physician will discuss what you can expect both during and after your contouring treatment. An important part of your recovery will be wearing your compression garment. Here are some things you need to know about wearing a compression garment following your contouring procedure.
Benefits
A compression garment is a snug undergarment that you will put on following your procedure. It will help promote healing, enhance circulation, and reduce swelling and bruising after your body contouring treatments in New Jersey. Your garment will also help prevent edema by disbursing subcutaneous fluid throughout your body so that it doesn’t pool in one concentrated area. Also, keeping your newly contoured body covered with a form-fitting garment may help lower your risk for a post-procedure infection.
Time Frame
Your physician will determine how long you’ll need to wear your compression garment based on which type of body contouring procedure you had and how extensive the procedure was. Typically, the garment is worn for at least a couple of weeks, however, you may need to wear it for a month or more. If you notice that your compression garment doesn’t fit correctly when you get home, tell your doctor. Wearing an ill-fitting garment may raise your risk for tissue death, uneven rippling of the skin, and excessive scarring after your procedure.
