Yes, wearing a compression garment is highly recommended after liposuction to reduce swelling, support healing, and help the skin conform to the new body contours. Typically, your surgeon will ask you to wear this for 4-6 weeks.

Yep— just not right away. Silicone scar products should be applied only after the incisions have fully closed, usually 2 to 4 weeks post-surgery, and can with compression garments if approved by your doctor. Always follow your surgeon’s advice regarding timing and use of both treatments.

Liposuction incisions tend to be fairly small, looking like a small bruise at the cannula entry site. Your surgeon will also likely aim for a more inconspicuous spot so that they are less noticeable. 

Though lipo scars tend to fade over time (like any scar), this can vary depending on your skin type, healing process, and care after surgery. (Which is why we recommend silicone products for best results!)

Recovery after liposuction varies depending on the procedure, but most people can return to light activities within 1 to 2 weeks. While swelling and bruising are common for a few weeks, full results may take several months to appear, and strenuous exercise should be avoided for about 4 to 6 weeks.

You must wait until your wound is fully closed before starting use of your silicone scar products, when your wound has begun the “maturation phase” of scar healing. In short, this means your wound is no longer oozing, bleeding, scabbing, etc, which usually takes a few weeks. However if in doubt, we also suggest consulting your doctor to see if it’s time for scar treatment.

Each sheet is designed to provide scar management for around 30-45 days. Proper care helps with the longevity of your silicone sheeting. Keep in mind the sheet is naturally adhesive, so it will get less sticky over time.
