Is pain and swelling normal after 2 months of Liposuction surgery?

September 11, 2014
Asked By:VannyG in Hawthorne, NJ

I had liposuction exactly 2 months ago. I am a bartender that is forced to go back to work and cannot wear my compression garments while I'm at work for 10 hours at a time on my feet. Towards the end of my shift, I feel extremely tired and get very swollen. Is this normal? I only work 2 days a wk. Will taking off my compression garments for a bit affect my healing, or surgery? My doctor said I couldn't take it off for atleast 3months! I also have 2 drinks per night is that bad?
