Lipo compression garment and lower back pain - is this normal?

Sounds like the garment is doing more harm than good.  Under those circumstances it might be better to take it off.

Thank you for your question.

I would recommend that you contact your surgeon to discuss your concerns at this time.  Swelling can last several months following surgery.  Varies from patient to patient.
The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Actually, this is normal and not due to your garment. It's due to being bend down all the time after tummy tuck. Ask your surgeon about ways to straighten out and your back pain will go away faster.Warmest regards, Dr. ALDO

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent surgery. The post - op swelling will slowly subside over the next three - six months.  You may wear a compression garment if you feel it helps. Please discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.

Your garment may be too tight. It should be snug, but not overly tight. Please call your surgeon's office for a larger garment.

Compression is often advised after surgery to support tissues as they heal and to manage swelling. Compression should feel supportive, but not painful. Contact your surgeon's office to ensure your compression garment is fitting you correctly.

Congratulations on your procedure and thanks for sharing your question. I can appreciate your concern.

Hang in there. your first visit will have significant improvement once they release the garment. 
Finally, make sure that your doctor is aware of your process. He should be able to guide you best in your care.
Wishing you the best in your journey
