Asked By:Jazmine012 in 08854

I am 21 days post op for smart lipo on my abdomen and flanks and I have large indents on my sides and my stomach is swollen. I am worried that my compression garment is too tight. My doctor advised me to wear one full body black garment that is similar to a body suit and a binder on my abdomen on too of the compression garment. The binder digs into my sides when I sit at work. Is it too soon to stop wearing compression garments? I had 3,000 cccs removed with the tumescent fluid and the fat.
