Hello g8strikeYour surgeon would usually give instructions post-op. I would advice you visit or contact your plastic surgeon about your concern.

Hi, 
Recently, there is increasing evidence that keeping a high pressure garment for a long time disturbs the lymphatic healing process. Therefore nowadays many of the plastic surgeons prefer "bimodal compression" which can be summarized as :
high pressure compression within the first few days (1-2 days)low pressure compression afterwards (2-4 weeks)
However every surgeon modifies and create their own protocol for the duration and tightness of the compression garments. Therefore ask your PS about the details.
Best wishes,
