Asked By:Swan2020 in Brooklyn, NY

I am 2 weeks post op. I got liposuction in a different country. I have 3 burns 1 on the left abdomen, and 2 left and right lower back.My Doctor gave me a cream Platsul A to put on the burn. She also told me to wear a loose compression garment with very little compression to avoid irritating the burn however I think it's irritating the wound and prematurely peeling. Please help me. What do I do? should I avoid wearing the garment till the burn start to harden or scab? It's currently very soft.
