Liposuction Recovery Clothing
Compression garments may be necessary for some patients. These reduce the swelling of incision area and if may hasten the time it takes for the wound to drain and heal. Made of a “stretchy” material, they are made to wear continuously and provide the wearer with a way to go to the bathroom without having to remove the garment. Consult with your doctor to see if the specific procedures requires wearing these post operation “accessories” and the amount of time you will need to spend in them. Choose loose fitting clothing. With compression garments underneath, tight clothes will just make life more uncomfortable and can cause complications in the healing process. Make sure that all shirts and pants leave room to move around in and do not Atlanta Liposuction or flexibility. It may even be necessary to purchase a few things to wear is a size larger that you normally wear. After taking care of your health and well-being, comfort is one of the most important factor of recovery. Don’t wear clothes that cannot be replaced. Unfortunately, there is a chance of fluid leaking onto clothing at the site of the incision. While most wounds are covered with sterile pads, it isn’t worth taking the chance of ruining a piece of clothing because of excess fluid. During recovery time, wear things that can be washed easily and can be replaced easily if necessary. For most people, the draining does not last long and may be gone is just a few short days. When returning to work, remember there is no need to squeeze into clothing that does not fit correctly. Many times some swelling may persist for weeks or even months after the procedure; liposuction is not an instant fix and it can take time to see the full results. Be comfortable until the full potential of the surgery is revealed.
