<i>Background/Objectives</i>: This study evaluated adherence to compression garments, their role in edema stabilization, and factors influencing patient compliance. <i>Materials and Methods</i>: This observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study evaluated adherence to compression garments in 92 patients with lymphedema treated at the University Hospital of Gran Canaria Dr. Negrín. In addition, sociodemographic, clinical, and design-related factors influencing adherence were analyzed. The evaluation was conducted via telephone questionnaires and a review of medical records. <i>Results</i>: The study revealed low adherence to compression garments in patients with lymphedema. Adherence was related to the garments' etiology, severity, and perceived comfort. <i>Conclusions</i>: The findings highlight the need to improve education strategies and personalize treatment recommendations to enhance adherence.
