Will wearing compression vest cause stomach/abdomen pain/discomfort?

Asked By:12211_1 in Bellevue, WA

I just have my gynecomastia surgery done 18 days ago(liposuction + glandular tissue removal). I wake up with discomfort and a little pain from abdomen region(may be from stomach) and lower back EVERY MORNING since the day I started wearing the compression vest. But those feelings get much better and are gone very soon after I get up(walk or sit). It only happens when I lying on bed for a long period of time such as sleeping. Is it caused by wearing the compression vest?
