How Long Should I Wear My Compression Garment?

Explains that wearing time depends on the procedure, swelling and the surgeon's protocol.

There Is No Single Wearing Schedule

Wearing schedules vary between patients. The extent of surgery, the number of treated areas, swelling and your surgeon's protocol all influence the duration.

Timelines you read online or hear from others may not apply to you. Your instructions are individual.

Common Approaches

Many protocols call for wear during most of the day in the first weeks. Wearing time may then be reduced gradually.

Your surgeon decides when this transition is appropriate. Feeling better alone is not a reason to stop wearing the garment early.

When to Ask for Advice

Consult your surgeon if you are unsure about wearing time, experience unexpected discomfort or struggle with everyday activities.
