Hot showers after liposuction, wearing garment after liposuction, 3 weeks post op. Advice?

alisaah
Hello! I had liposuction on my flanks, outer thighs, stomach and waist , banana rolls almost 3 weeks ago, is it safe to take long hot showers again ? I know I’m not allowed to go swimming for another few weeks but what about hot showers ? Would it change the end results ? Also, I heard different opinions about wearing the garment after surgery. I was wearing mine for only 2 days , does it change my end results ?
