Duration of Compression Garment After Gynecomastia Surgery (Fat + Tissue Removal) ?

manufan7
Some are saying 2 weeks, some are saying 4 weeks and some 6 weeks. I have been given a chest belt instead of a garment. My personal doctor said for 2 weeks but some are saying 6 weeks. Will it make a difference (good or bad) if I wear it for more time ?
