Choosing Compression Garments After BBL and Fat Transfer

When choosing compression after BBL and fat transfer, consider the different needs of the liposuction areas and the areas receiving transferred fat.

Assessing Treatment Areas Separately

In BBL and similar fat-transfer procedures, the same patient may have areas treated with liposuction and areas receiving transferred fat. These areas may require different compression.

Choose the product according to how it fits and contacts each anatomical area, rather than relying on a general label such as 'BBL garment'.

Checking Pressure on the Fat-Transfer Area

Pressure on the fat-transfer area should be assessed according to the surgeon's instructions. The garment should not apply uncontrolled or excessive pressure to that area.

When reviewing construction, check the position of seams, panels and edges in relation to the fat-transfer area.

Professional Fit Assessment

At the first fitting, check that the garment fits the liposuction areas appropriately without creating unwanted pressure over the fat-transfer areas.

Differences in anatomy and the extent of treatment mean that a standard style may not perform in the same way for every patient.
