How Long Should You Wear an Abdominal Board After Lipo?

One of the most common questions after liposuction is how long to wear your abdominal board. Here's what you need to know.

General Timeline

Weeks 1-2: Wear 24 hours a day, removing only to shower

Weeks 3-4: 12-16 hours per day as swelling decreases

Weeks 5-8: 8 hours per day or as directed by your surgeon

Why Consistency Matters

The more consistently you wear your board, the better your results. It helps prevent fibrosis (hardening of tissue), reduces swelling faster, and improves skin retraction.

Listen to Your Surgeon

Every patient is different. Always follow your surgeon's specific timeline over general guidelines.
