When liposuction is performed, various symptoms appear and disappear temporarily. There are some symptoms, such as swelling, lumps, bruising, and pain, that are mostly absorbed and disappear, but there are also symptoms that appear rarely. If it is a symptom that appears commonly, customers may not be impatient, but if it is a symptom that appears rarely, they are more sensitive. If you’re worried that something is seriously wrong, one of them is mild tingling.

A slight tingling sensation is natural. In rare cases, when liposuction is performed, the area where the surgery was performed may feel tingling or itchy. And although it is extremely rare, there are people who complain of numbness, tingling, and cold symptoms. These symptoms are usually referred to as ‘paresthesia’. Common symptoms are not cause for concern, regardless of how they appear.

It will heal naturally over time.

“Mom, I had liposuction, but sometimes I feel a sore sensation from my inner thighs to my calves.”
“It’s fine everywhere else, but when I wear shorts on my arms, it feels numb.”

All of these symptoms also fall under perception abnormalities.
If it appears temporarily, everyone gets concerned. You may be worried that there may be a serious problem with your nerves.

Many people wonder if it is okay to leave the numbness and tingling feeling as is, but there is no need to worry too much because it is a symptom that can be recovered on its own, not a military condition, and even if there is a sensory abnormality, it does not cause a major problem.

Since this is a symptom that is cured on its own, the best treatment is to eat comfortably and lead a normal life. You can rest assured that we have never seen anyone suffering from these symptoms severely or permanently.

Does liposuction become less effective if you don’t wear a compression garment?

“Do I have to wear a compression garment?” Many people ask this question when asked to wear a compression garment after liposuction. The reason for asking this question is clear. It’s that I don’t want to wear it. In fact, compression garments are uncomfortable because they do not seem to provide much comfort at first glance. It is cumbersome to put on and take off. So it’s natural that you don’t want to wear it. However, it is said that if you do not wear compression garments, your skin will sag, so you cannot wear them comfortably. Will I really lose weight if I don’t wear compression garments? If I don’t press it with a compression garment, will something go out of order and the effectiveness of liposuction will decrease?

Even if you don’t wear it, the end result is the same. 

Wearing compression garments makes you feel uncomfortable, and not wearing them makes you feel uncomfortable.

This is not an easy task since you usually have to wear compression garments for at least a month. It’s difficult to wear, and I’m worried that my body won’t look right because I don’t want to wear it. There are many people who worry about whether they should wear compression garments for one reason or another.

In conclusion, I would like to remind you in advance that the final result is the same even if you do not wear a compression garment. However, the skin process takes a long time, and swelling and lumps may occur relatively easily. The final result of the surgery depends to a large extent on how well the surgery was done. It is all nonsense to say that if you do not wear compression garments, your skin will sag or your skin will lose elasticity and become flabby. I hope you don’t get too stressed out by unfounded rumors.

However, this does not mean that you do not need to wear compression garments. Compression garments also have some effect on the results of surgery. It helps reduce swelling and makes scars look pretty. In particular, people who have had abdominal suction are strongly recommended to wear compression garments.

If you tighten the compression garment well after surgery, there will be less build-up, less swelling, and especially in people with a lot of weight in the abdomen, even a weak compression garment needs to be removed a little more. It is advantageous for creating texture.

Of course, even if you do not wear a compression garment, the swelling will disappear over time. However, swelling and lumps last longer, and if you do not wear compression garments, the body shape that can be completed in 3 months at the latest can take more than 6 months if you do not wear compression garments.

It is best to wear compression garments consistently for the first 1-2 weeks.
If you don’t mind the recovery period being a little longer, you don’t have to wear compression garments. However, it is recommended to wear compression garments 24 hours a day for at least 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. After liposuction, you may feel a slight trembling sensation. Recovery is faster if the space where fat was suctioned from the fat layer under the skin is tightened with compression garments that do not shrink. Also, during the recovery process, there is a time when the area bunches up, but if you tighten the entire area evenly with a compression garment, there will be less bunching and you can see a fair and significant effect. In particular, if there is no compression garment on a large area such as the abdomen, the increased gravity can cause injuries and lumps.

If you wear a compression garment after surgery, you can feel a little more comfortable wearing it. When showering or on the road, it is not a big problem to take off the compression garment even for a moment. Even if it is allowed to wear it regularly, it is better to wear it systematically over several days.

Quick tip: There is no problem with liposuction in the summer.

If you undergo liposuction, it is a good idea to wear a compression garment for a while. For this reason, many people worry about whether it is okay to get liposuction in the summer. This is because I don’t have the confidence to endure wearing compression clothing in this extremely hot summer. However, compression garments do not have a significant impact on the results of surgery, so there is no reason not to undergo liposuction due to concerns about wearing compression garments. Some people are worried that the hot weather will make their wounds bleed, but their worries are for no reason. If you have surgery in the summer, recovery will not be slower or the scar will not be more severe than in the winter. Ironically, is it okay to have surgery in the summer? As feared, there are far more people having surgery in the summer than in the winter. This is because, rather than worrying, the desire to show off a great body is stronger in the summer when exposure is high.
