Asked By:12dr in Bay Area, CA

I had under arm lipo 4 days ago (axilla) I left with no compression garment. The next day I received a basic sports bra that doesn’t reach up high enough to compress. I can hear a air/ fluid noise when I raise and lower one arm . Should I find some type of compression garment to use? Can I use a sports tape? I’m concerned my results will not be ideal since I’ve had no compression applied .
