3 weeks after liposuction and buttlift I can't take this faja, girdle, garment whatever. Do I need to wear this?

I hate wearing this garment. It itches and burns my skin. It feels like it's causing lumps in the places it creases. Will I lose the effects of the liposuction if I don't wear it? Can I use a waist trainer by itself? Once the swelling goes all the way down wont my stomach be flat anyway? My skin is so dark from brushes it started to peel. Every time I put it on it makes my skin sore.
