As discussed earlier, compression garments are worn after the operation to assist in the retraction of the skin and to prevent swelling. Light massage is started on the 10th day. After the operation, exercises are recommended beginning on the 14th day, in order to minimize the adhesions between the skin and the deeper tissues. Early results are seen 10-14 days after surgery, but improvement continues for 4-6 months.
