Will wearing a compression garment still affect lipo results after 2 weeks?

Shannon915
I am two weeks post op for lipo of my stomach. After day 3, I started to switch between wearing my surgical compression garment 8hrs a day, and a light compression garment overnight. My surgeon said that I didn't need to continue to wear a garment. However, I feel more comfortable wearing something, especially after reading a lot of the suggestions on this site. But, I want to know honestly if it is still necessary to wear a garment, and will switching between the two types affect my results?
