How long should i wear a compression binder after Liposuction?

Kathy241
I had a combination of ultrasonic & power assisted liposuction on my abdomen and flanks. My doctor asked me to wear the compression binder for 4 weeks. It's already 4 weeks now and I am healing well. I've read that it's better to wear a compression garment for 6 weeks. I just have a binder. Is it ok to move from a binder to a spanx bodysuit after 4 weeks? Is the spanx bodysuit good enough to wear after 4 weeks or should i continue wearing the binder?
