Why does a plastic surgeon recommend that you wear a shaper after a liposuction?

After liposuction, the plastic surgeon will let you put on body shaping clothes, especially the elastic bandages required for facial liposuction are more obvious, uncomfortable and unattractive. Do you know why? You should wear elastic bandages after liposuction surgery. You should pressurize and fix in the first week after surgery. It is generally recommended to continue to use elastic bandages for 2-3 months. It should be worn 24 hours in the first month, and only in the evening for the first 2-3 months. At this time, someone will ask, why should I wear liposuction? Let me explain briefly today;


● 1, pressurized ●


Generally speaking, wearing a body shaper after liposuction can reduce postoperative bleeding and tissue edema. And the body shaper can avoid 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 bodywear selected should be moderate. If the elasticity is too small, it will not have a fixed effect. If the pressure is too large, it will cause a series of complications such as phlebitis or venous thrombosis. Therefore, it is generally recommended to choose the body shape recommended by the hospital.


● 2, fixed ●


After liposuction, the amount of fat is reduced, and the space in the skin is the same as before. The skin is separated from the muscle layer, and the space where the original fat is located becomes empty. The elastic body shaper can fight against gravity, fix the skin fat layer in the correct position, help the fat layer adhere to the deep fat to prevent 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 clothing is to shape. Slimming clothing will give the skin a constant pressure. The continuous pressure has a shaping effect on the adipose tissue, helping the skin to quickly restore its smoothness after liposuction. Liposuction to lose weight and face must be psychologically prepared. Postoperative pressure bandaging and body shaping may cause bruising, bruising, swelling, etc. You also need to take careful care of the surgical site, take a good rest, avoid alcohol and tobacco, in order to recover faster and better.
