How important is the pieces of foam that go in the etched part of the abdominal etching surgery?

The crossbars shifted significantly immediately after the surgery. I did not discover that this was the issue until after one whole week post op. I have now corrected the issue but unfortunately this first week postop is the most critical. Wonder how much that matters in the final result? Thanks
