Compression garment?? should i still wear it??
Compression Garment

had vaserlipo on neck/chin 5 wks ago, still not happy with result, very slow healing process, for me anyway! Is it worth me still wearing the compression garment of a night, or is it pointless at this late stage? many thanks.

In general, I like to have my patients wear a compression garment for 4-6 weeks after treatment. I usually suggest formal garments for the first 2 weeks and then other forms of compression (more)

Best to discuss with the operative chosen surgeon. I recommend at least 3 months use if swelling still present at 5 weeks. BTW, I do not recommend Vaser for the chin/neck. I use Smart (more)

If it takes a full yr to fully heal from a tt and all it's swelling why would one have to wear a cg for 3 months?
