Will not wearing my compression garment hinder my Lipo outcome and recovery? (photos)

December 9, 2015
Asked By:happyandhealthy1 in Cincinnati, OH

I am 5 days post op. from having liposuction on my hips, thighs and abdomen. Due to a blood disorder I have extremely severe bruising and am unable to wear the post-op comp. garment. My PS cleared me to wear a Spanx-type garment. I am once again feeling the same pain, (that goes beyond discomfort), and mind-numbing itchiness that I felt with the 1st garment & had to take it off. I can't wear it. Am I undoing the work that my PS has done? What can I expect in regard to my healing and outcome?
