Arm lift: do I need to wear my compression garment or can I use compression bandage instead?

July 16, 2016
Asked By:lilhead in England, United Kingdom

I have had an arm lift about 2 weeks ago and I'm currently using a compression garment which covers my arms only, however it's rubbing on my armpit scars so I have bought some compression bandages instead and this has stopped the rubbing is this OK? Or does it literally have to be the compression garment that I have to wear for this procedure
