Your movements will be limited straight after your surgery and your surgeon will recommend not lifting your arms at all. Postoperative bras should have front fastening in the middle so you can reach it easily. The bra will become your best friend for few weeks, even at night. Surgeons recommend sleeping on your back and so the back fastening would be uncomfortable.

Wearing the garments during the recovery process is as important as the actual procedure. As the fat is removed during the Vaser Liposuction treatment, there is the creation of a so-called "third space" in between the skin and the muscle. This space has the potential of being filled with fluid that can get trapped as the tissue regenerates. By having an even pressure on all the treated areas you will avoid a build-up of fluids that can cause aesthetic complications that may be difficult to manage and add an extra cost to your procedure.
