Should I still wear compression garments if my surgeon uses tubular bandage after tummy tuck?

Twins Mum
I'm scheduled for a tummy tuck in April 21, and my doctor has advised that they generally don't use compression garments for abdominoplasty surgery, instead they use tubular bandage - I have a pre-op appointment coming up, so I will discuss. But is this tubular bandaging enough?
