How Tight Should I Wrap my Legs After Smart Lipo?

Asked By:mk32 in ny,ny

I recently had Smart Lipo on my inner/outer thighs and knee area about 4 days ago, and I am still very swollen. I'm going to get my compression garment in a few days, so my doctor has me wearing ACE bandages for the mean time. How tight should I be wrapping my legs? Thank you very much!
