Is It Ok to Take Compression Garment off for a Couple Hours a Few Days After Chin Lipo?

August 6, 2011
Asked By:blondie613 in Los Angeles, CA

I had chin lipo four days ago. I was told to wear the cg 23 hours a day, taking off to bath, which is what I've been doing, plus loosening it to eat. I know its important to the healing process, that's why im wondering if it wuld be a big deal to take off for a couple hours tomorrow to get out of the house and go to a movie, as long as I put it righht back on when I get home? Or will that effect my healing? Im young with good elastic skin as well.
