Is it really necessary to wear a compression garment after lipo? How would it affect the results if I don't use it?

23 y.o. I got whole body lipo 10 days ago. Im doing lymphatic massages. For compression garment, I wore the one from surgery for about 5 days but was so uncomfortable I decided to buy a colombian compression garment. My pubic area is so swollen that this garment digs in badly causing major discomfort. My doctor said I could wear spanx since a real tight one is not needed since shape is given in the OR not by a garment. everyone says you HAVE to wear it.
