I had liposuction about 2 months ago and wore a compression garment continuously for the first 3 weeks and it was fine. But then my doctor told me it would be ok to only wear it during the day and I could take it off at night. What I've noticed is my left side was still swelled up and very tender especially compared to the right. So instead of the faja I've been wearing a wrap around my stomach and it seems to be better less swelling...I see my doc next week fri again is this ok.
