Compression and faja- how long is too long to wear? (Photo)

Easygoing2615
I have been following several women post op tummy tuck and lipo360 on social media to get a feel for recovery. Some women say that their doctors forbade them from wearing faja past week 6 so that the body could repair its own lymphatic channels and learn to drain itself. Others wear their compression garnments 2 weeks and some longer than 12 weeks. I’m curious on the general consensus- is it true that you shook f stop wearing faja at 6 weeks???
