Can the fit of a compression garment (if a bit too tight), ruin the results of my tummy tuck, if worn long term? (Photos)

Asked By:martinamc in Cincinnati, OH

This refers to a second compression garment I will wear about once a week, for the next five weeks. I plan to wear it all day, when I wash my original garment. It is a bit tight and not as smooth a fit as my original post op garment, on my tummy tuck area and torso. This is a back up compression garment that I will only wear about one day a week for the next five weeks, when I wash my original compression garment (which I love, and is by a different brandmaker than the back up garment).
