Liposuction, done properly leaves the skin with a smooth finish, unlike crunchy peanut butter.
Unlike Peanut Butter – there is no choice of smooth or chunky when it comes to Liposuction. A Smooth finish to the skin surface is always the goal. How do you ensure that your Liposuction Surgery has optimal results?
Start with a questions and answers session with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to your liposuction or fat transfer surgery. Discuss how he does the procedure. The instrument that a Plastic Surgeon uses to remove the fat from your body during a Liposuction procedure is called a cannula. All Liposuction cannulas have holes at the tip (like a straw), where the fat enters the cannula tube and gets sucked out of the body. A thin, 3 millimeter diameter cannula with small 1mm diameter holes at the cannula tip ensures that you don’t leave defects in the fatty tissue where fluids or blood can accumulate. The results is a smooth skin surface. Larger liposuction cannulas do the job quicker, but allow fluids to accumulate and have a higher likelihood of uneven surgery results…and scaring. It is the uneven scarring that causes skin contour irregularities.
Sculptures Liposuction Foam is medical grade polyurethane foam designed to provide even, smooth padding and compression for added comfort and contouring
Another key component in maximizing even healing is the use of a well fitting Liposuction Garment and Liposuction Foam. Immediately following surgery, Liposuction Foam padding is placed inside your compression garment. Sculptures Liposuction Foam can be cut to the desired shape and size, and then easily inserted between sterile dressing and compression garment. The foam ensures even compression and the compression will hold the surgical area firmly in place, aiding in proper retraction and intended body contouring. With the help of the foam, you will see less waviness in the skin surface – Free fat cells are thought to be redistributed evenly by the pressure of the foam plus the pressure garment. The result is a smoother skin surface.
As for your peanut butter – Crunchy wins! Crunchy Peanut Butter has considerably less Saturated Fat and gives you 2% more Fiber than Smooth and Creamy. But then again Smooth and Creamy has more Vitamin E. Either way Peanut Butter is a great source of Protein and B Vitamins.*

Brazilian Butt Lift Recovery: Why Are Compression Garments Important? an informational video by Bob Basu, MD, FACS explains what a Brazilian butt lift is and why a compression garments is so important for recovery.
To View Click Here: BBL Recovery- Why are compression garments important
Contemporary Design Inc. Compression Garments exert 18-21 mmHg of pressure on the limb. The amount of pressure is measured in terms of “mmHg,” or millimeters of mercury, based on the amount of pressure exerted by one millimeter of liquid mercury. (You’re probably familiar with this from your blood pressure readings, which are also expressed in terms of “mmHg.”)
Compression garments are worn by those with lymphedema on the affected limb following complete decongestive therapy. The garment’s compression helps maintain edema reduction and compresses the arm or leg and encourage the flow of lymph fluid out of the affected limb.
Consult your healthcare provider.
Maybe you’re lucky enough to be able to do something just for you. Everyday stresses, age, pollution, lack of sleep…all this has impact on appearance. So you’re contemplating plastic surgery.

Compression Wear is designed for Postoperative needs: –with outside seams,
exterior labels, and hook & eye beneath zippers for easy application
Why are compression garments important to the success of my surgery?
These garments are designed to protect what is inside!
-No scratchy tags inside to irritate the already sensitive skin.
-No indents visible on the skin from the impression of an inside seam.
-No undue stress to the incision site while zipping into the garment.
Wearing a high quality post-op compression garment can help you during the recovery process in the following ways: To provide uniform radial compression and support to aid recovery. Wearing a compression garment designed for your particular procedure will minimize bruising and swelling (edema), increase blood circulation in the affected area and aid in flushing fluids and toxins at the incision site. The compression from the garment will hold skin firmly in place, aiding in proper skin retraction and intended body contouring. In addition, outside seams on the garment, will prevent the garment seams from leaving indentations on the skin. Improve your comfort during healing process- A proper fit and lightweight, breathable material will make you more comfortable when wearing the garment for extended periods of time …this aids compliance and speeds recovery.
Why can’t I wear active wear, traditional foundations or shapewear?
It is essential that the compression garment worn during the recovery period provides uniform radial compression, something that is not found in a standard girdle or shaper. Shapers, tights, girdles and jog bras also do not have inside flat seams, tags on the outside of the garment – away from the skin, an open crotch, and are not intended for around the clock, 24-hour use. You need a garment that is non m-marking, specifically designed to compress the skin for surgical purposes and that is comfortable for the length of your recovery. Your compression garment acts as your “second skin.”
