A system and method for post-operation care for a liposuction procedure including a compression garment and a set of absorptive garments that includes a first absorptive garment and a second absorptive garment. The compression garment includes a first portion and each absorptive garment includes an absorptive material, a fluid resistant material, and a fastener. The first absorptive garment is coupled to the body of the patient and fastened to envelop the first portion of the absorptive garment and the second absorptive garment is couple to the body of the patient and fastened to the first portion of the absorptive garment upon removal of the first absorptive garment.

1. A kit, for post-operation care of a liposuction incision on the body of a patient following a liposuction procedure, the kit comprising: a compression garment configured to apply pressure to a portion of the body proximal the liposuction incision, the compression garment substantially permeable to a fluid excreted from the incision;a set of absorptive garments, including a first absorptive garment and a second absorptive garment, each absorptive garment comprising: an absorptive material defining a first face configured to contact the compression garment and a second face opposite the first face, the absorptive material configured to retain a portion of the fluid that passes through the compression garmet;a fluid resistant material non-transiently connected to the absorptive material adjacent the second face; anda fastener configured to selectively couple the absorptive garment to the patient with the absorptive garment substantially enveloping the compression garment; andwherein the compression garment is configured to remain in place on the portion of the body of the patient while the first absorptive garment, enveloping the compression garment, is replaced with the second absorptive garment. 2. The kit of claim 1, wherein the compression garment defines a tubular portion configured to apply pressure to the body of the patient proximal the incision. 3. The kit of claim 2, wherein the compression garment and the first and second absorptive garments define geometries configured to envelop portions of the body of the patient selected from the group consisting of: the abdomen, the waist, a thigh, the buttocks, and an arm. 4. The kit of claim 2, wherein the compression garment and the first and second absorptive garments define geometries configured to envelop the crotch of the patient, wherein the geometries comprise apertures configured to permit passage of patient waste therethrough. 5. The kit of claim 1, wherein the first absorptive garment and the second absorptive garment are substantially identical. 6. The kit of claim 1, wherein the first face of the absorptive material defines a surface area that is substantially similar to the surface area of the compression garment. 7. The system kit of claim 1, wherein the first face of the absorptive material defines a surface area that is less than the surface area of the compression garment. 8. The kit of claim 1, wherein the fluid resistant material is substantially permeable to air. 9. The kit of claim 1, wherein the fluid resistant material is of a surface area substantially identical to the surface area of the second face of the absorptive material. 10. The kit of claim 1, wherein the fastener includes a first component mounted at a first location on the fluid resistant material and a second component mounted at a second location on the fluid resistant material, the first component and the second component being selectively fastenable to couple the absorptive garment to the patient with the absorptive garment substantially enveloping the compression garment. 11. The kit of claim 10, wherein the fluid resistant material is configured to permit the passage of the fluid through an interface proximal the first and second locations of the fluid resistant material. 12. The kit of claim 10, wherein the first component of the fastener comprises a first string and the second component of the fastener comprises a second string. 13. The kit of claim 10, wherein the first component of the fastener comprises a material defining a plurality of loops and the second component of the fastener comprises a material defining a plurality of hooks configured to capture and hold a portion of the loops of the first component. 14. The kit of claim 10, wherein the first component and the second component of the fastener are sewn to the fluid resistant material. 15. The kit of claim 1, wherein the fastener is configured to accommodate a plurality of patient sizes. 16. The kit of claim 1, wherein the absorptive material and the fluid resistance material are sewn together to form the absorptive garment. 17. A garment, for the absorption of fluids excreted by a patient from an incision following a liposuction procedure, comprising: an absorptive material defining a geometry and surface area configured to envelope a portion of the body of the patient proximal the incision and comprising a first face configured to face the body of the patient and a second face opposite the first face, the absorptive material configured to capture a portion of the volume of fluid excreted by the patient;a fluid resistant material that is air permeable and is of a geometry and surface area substantially identical to the geometry and surface area of the absorptive material, wherein at least a portion of the fluid resistant material is coupled to the second face of the absorptive material to substantially prevent the fluid from exiting the absorptive material through the second face; anda fastener comprising a first component mounted at a first location on the fluid resistant material and a second component mounted at a second location on the fluid resistant material, wherein the first component and the second component are selectively fastenable to couple the garment to the patient with the garment enveloping the portion of the body of the patient containing the incision;wherein the absorptive material and the fluid resistant material define an aperture configured to permit passage of patient waste therethrough. 18. A garment, for the absorption of fluids excreted by a patient from an incision following a liposuction procedure, the garment comprising: an absorptive material defining a geometry configured to envelope a portion of the body of the patient proximal the incision and comprising a first face configured to face the body of the patient and a second face opposite the first face, the absorptive material configured to absorb and retain a portion of the fluid excreted by the patient;a fluid resistant material that is substantially air-permeable and is of a geometry substantially similar to the geometry of the absorptive material, a portion of the fluid resistant material non-transiently connected to the absorptive material adjacent to the second face to prevent the absorbed fluid from seeping out of the absorptive material from the second face; anda fastener comprising a first component mounted at a first location on the fluid resistant material and a second component mounted at a second location on the fluid resistant material, the first component and the second component being selectively fastenable to couple the garment to the patient with the garment enveloping the portion of the body of the patient.
