I am 43 yrs old woman, 9 weeks post op vaser on my upper and lower abs and back,one week after the procedure and post ops,my doc advised me the use of body wrapping belts along with the compression garment.I live in a cold place and can bear the disconfort of compression garment and belts.My skin looks absolutely normal with no strech markSoon after unwrapping the belts the new shape looks great,but staying a few hrs without belts alone on compression garment causes swelling again.Is this normal?

Swelling can persist for 6 months and the garment is important until you stop swelling. Thank you for your question and good luck with everything.
