I had SmartLipo on the upper/lower abdomen 2 days ago. I removed bandaging and showered on day 2. Is this okay?

Asked By:Shallypoo in Montreal, QC

Since my surgery was done in Canada, I am doing a 2 1/2 week post-op visit, so I'd prefer an answer now. I took bandages off, showered, and put Neosporin on the incisions. I used maxi-pads with tape on the center area near bellybutton, just because it is still sensitive. Also, how tight should the compression garment be?
