Postoperative Compression Garments After Liposuction

Liposuction recovery is about more than just the surgery, the right post-op compression garment plays a critical role in your final result. In this video, Dr. Ricardo L. Rodriguez, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Baltimore, explains how compression garments and foam pads help improve circulation, reduce swelling, and support smooth skin retraction after fat removal.

Patients often ask whether they’ll need post-op massages or worry about skin irregularities. As Dr. Rodriguez shares, the combination of fine cannulas, careful technique, and specialized compression garments makes a major difference in both comfort and aesthetic outcomes. This attention to detail is part of why our practice is known for natural-looking, long-lasting liposuction results!
