Elastic bodysuit after liposuction and plastic surgery

  After liposuction, the plastic surgeon will let you put on a sculpting suit, especially the elastic bandage to be used for facial liposuction is more obvious, uncomfortable, and not beautiful. Do you know why?


  After the liposuction surgery, you should wear elastic bandages and pressurize and fix it in the first week after the operation. It is generally recommended to continue to use elastic bandages for shaping for 2-3 months thereafter. Wear it 24 hours in the first month, and only wear it at night in the 2-3 months. At this time, someone will ask, why do you want to wear liposuction? Today I will briefly explain to you.


   1、Pressure


   Generally speaking, wearing a body suit after liposuction can reduce postoperative bleeding and tissue edema. Moreover, the body-building clothes can avoid the local accumulation of exudate, leading to the appearance of hematoma or seroma, and promote postoperative recovery. It should be noted that the pressure of the elastic body suit selected should be moderate. If the elasticity is too small, it will not play a fixed role. If the pressure is too high, it will cause a series of complications such as phlebitis or venous thrombosis. Therefore, it is generally recommended to choose the body suit recommended by the hospital.


   2. Fixed


  After liposuction, the amount of fat is reduced, but the space in the skin is still the same as before. The skin is separated from the muscle layer, and the space where the fat was originally emptied. The elastic bodysuit can play against gravity, fix the skin fat layer in the correct position, help the fat layer adhere to the deep fat and avoid the flap from loosening and sagging.


  3. Shaping


  The ultimate goal of plastic surgery is to have a good body shape, so the biggest role of body shaping is shaping. Slimming clothes will give the skin a constant pressure, and the continuous pressure has a shaping effect on the fat tissue, helping the skin to recover quickly after liposuction. For liposuction and slimming, you must be mentally prepared. After the operation, it is necessary to apply pressure and bandage, and wear a body suit. There may be bruising, swelling, etc. You also need to take care of the surgical site, take a good rest, and avoid tobacco and alcohol to recover quickly and effectively.
