Is it necessary for me to wear an Anti-Embolism Stocking after surgery?

Hi doctors, I had lipo & BBL a few months ago, the PS requires me to wear anti-embolism stockings for a week. Going to a new PS for a TT & BL this week he doesn't require the stockings. He even mentioned that the stocking doesn't serve a purpose, they only give you a sense of comfort. Looking for some opinions on this decision. Thanks in advance.
