How long do I need to wear foam under my garment for?

April 7, 2016
Asked By:Dkittyatx in Austin, TX

I am one week post op from having Lipo on my lower abs and flanks. I have been wearing the foam under my garment the whole time. I was told to wear the compression garment for 6 weeks, does that mean with the foam too? The foam is really difficult to get into with the garment and I need my husbands assistance to get dressed with it. I return to work in 4 days and the only pants I can wear with having the foam are yoga or other type of sweat pants as my regular pants don't fit with the foam.
