What you need to know about wearing bandages after neck liposuction

So, you have had a consultation with a plastic surgeon, and you have decided to opt for a neck liposuction procedure. However, you might be asking yourself whether the wearing of a neck lipo compression garment after this type of surgery is really necessary. 

Sure, your doctor might have recommended that you wear a particular compression garment, but given that you might not even need it after your recovery period, do you really need to be spending your money on such an item? 

This is a perfectly understandable question, and you aren’t alone in wondering. Indeed, a plastic surgeon from Centre for Surgery has said that this is one of the most frequently asked questions by prospective clients during their consultation. 

The surgeon claimed that the best way to handle the subject is by emphasising the benefits of wearing compression garments, making clear that it is very much in the client’s interests for them to wear one. 

So, remember that if you do buy and wear a neck liposuction compression garment, you won’t be doing so in order to impress anyone, or even to satisfy your doctor – you really will be doing it for you.  

Why do you need a compression garment after neck liposuction?

All the medical-grade compression garments that we offer here at RECOVA are recommended to be worn post-surgery, to help ensure a comfortable and speedy recovery. 

Neck liposuction is a non-invasive procedure, which means it presents a lower risk of complications, and a strong chance of rapid recovery, compared to other surgical procedures available today. 

The procedure involves removing excessive fat underneath the chin to provide a tight and toned appearance, so naturally, the skin retraction post-surgery will take some time. A neck bandage compression garment can aid the skin retraction process, in addition to minimising the risk of saggy skin. 

Not only that, but you will also experience a certain degree of swelling and bruising for the first few days after any liposuction procedure. A neck bandage compression garment will apply targeted pressure on the treated area, promote effective blood circulation, and help reduce post-surgery pain from the swelling. 

In addition, the compression garment can help the body flush out potentially harmful toxins, thereby greatly reducing the risk of serious complications such as thrombosis or keloid scars.

Will not wearing a neck bandage affect the final results of neck liposuction?

Although the main benefits of wearing the compression garment are to promote faster healing and maximise the chances of a smooth recovery, neck bandages also contribute to the final results by improving the contour of the treated area and helping patients achieve the best appearance. 

The advantages of compression garments greatly outweigh any downsides, and most patients wearing such garments have seen dramatic improvements after the recovery period. The outcome of the procedure does depend to a considerable extent on the surgeon’s skills, but effective aftercare post-surgery will also significantly contribute to the final results.  

With all of the above in mind, are you seeking to purchase the neck lipo compression garment that will best support your own efforts to achieve the final outcome you desire from your procedure? If so, there really is no need for you to look further than our extensive range right here at RECOVA.
