A two-component post-operative compression garment (10) for use in enhancing fluid drainage from a plurality of open micro-incisions in breasts after liposuction surgery. The compression garment (10) includes a first garment component (12) positionable on a person to cause a first magnitude of compression pressure upon the breasts, and a second garment component (26) adjustably positionable in concert with the first garment component (12) to cause an adjustable second magnitude of compression pressure greater than the first magnitude. This second magnitude of pressure is adjustable to thereby provide a pressure adequate to force fluid from the open micro-incisions of the breasts. When the microcannulas are removed from the open micro-incisions after surgery and compression pressure is applied with the compression garment to each breast for a period of time and of sufficient pressure to force the fluid from the breasts through the micro-incisions. Substantially identical liposuction methodology is employable for abdominal areas.
